I grew up in the Catholic Church: baptized, confirmed, altar boy, choir boy, 12 years parochial education, named after my uncle who was ordained Franciscan OFM, etc.
They constantly promoted the instruction to their people that the laity
could not read the scriptures alone without the proper and official interpretations. Every week our church service was based on the Catholic Missal.
The LCM has become exactly the same. Their members must read from the "Interpreted Word" from the footnotes, the Life-Studies, and the HWfMR lest they "misinterpret" God's word. The HWfMR has become their "
Recovery Missal."
