The Role of the Bible in Catholic Life

As a Catholic, your interaction with scripture is more prayerful in a way than it was as an evangelical. I think the main difference though is that now for me, scripture comes in the context of an authoritative interpretive tradition. It's not just up to me to interpret scripture, but rather I can enter into this interpretive tradition which has shown us how to read it truthfully and how it should be interpreted. One thing I would critique about the tradition I grew up in is a reading of the fall and how the relationship between men and women are described as prescriptive instead of a departure from the ideal we now actually have to wrestle with.
