Knowing Scripture and The Years of Study

 

If you ask me how many years was the knowledge of scripture transmitted to me as a person baptized and formed in the Roman Catholic Church, I will tell you all of my life.  Cradle Catholic is a popular term, as for me it is a baptism of infancy that I will embrace is the term.  Yes, embrace because the transmission of faith began at the moment of baptism on October 15, 1978 as a two month old infant.

There are capacities in a human being to find his or her existence in the intellectual condition of study and scripture studied.  

I studied.  

I was taught. 

I was instructed by very legitimate authorities in the knowledge of scripture and the direction of study.
