My Filipino wife gave me a whole different view of their Catholicism. She has a rosary in the car and rubs it for protection, believes in Jesus and heaven, all that, but isn’t familiar with even the most well-known Bible stories and I have no idea if she’s even been to Mass. To her, the bible simply isn’t important in any way, and neither are the practices of the church. All very strange to my American senses, having been raised in a white-bread Presbyterian church.
