The Catholic Bible Catechist

Pope Benedict XVI, as Pope John Paul II before him, repeatedly urges Catholic faithful to read Scripture. One of my apostolates, a result of years studying Scripture, is to answer questions my fellow Catholics may have about what they've read. Send your questions to RICHMAFFEO@YAHOO.COM. I will answer as many as I can. Let's grow closer to Christ together.
