Reply to a Protestant who criticizes Catholics “crawling on their hands and knees across stone” I’m not certain at all that this person you mention “had zero knowledge of the Gospel.” Portions of the Gospels are read every week at Mass. In one reading that is cyclical every year, John 3:16 is featured.
