Ah, Sanity, you may think I'm one of those Bible-illiterate Catholics, but I don't really think so. I have a BA Theology and 8 years of seminary treaining, and I've led a weekly Bible study since 1985, and I've translated a good deal of the New Testament from the Greek.
Yesterday's Gospel reading in the Catholic Lectionary was Luke 16:1-13, the passage about how one cannot serve both God and mammon, which is a very good example of the detachment from material goods that Jesus taught. I think the Common Lectionary reading was the same.
