Can I attend a Protestant Bible Study?

I am in the Christian Union in college. They run bible study groups every week, and they tend to be run be Protestants of various denominations, as the CU is very ecumenical. I attended a 3 week study of Habbakuk and learned a fair bit. They are about to embark on a study of the Gospel of Mark, and there is a lot more contention about interpretations in the Gospels than in the OT Prophets, so I'm looking for advice as to whether I should take part?

Response :

Hi,

Catholics have no business attending non-Catholic Bible studies. Our understanding of Scripture differs considerably, even though on the surface it may seem not to. I strongly encourage you to pursue a Catholic understanding of Scripture.
