A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of regular churchgoers found that 25% of Evangelical Christians read the Bible on a daily basis along with 20% of other Protestants. Just seven percent (7%) of Catholics do the same. At the other extreme, 44% of Catholics rarely or never read the Bible along with only seven percent (7%) of Evangelical Christians and 13% of other Protestants.

This is a little misleading, implying that Catholics have little or no contact with The Bible.

If you go to Mass every day, you will hear the entire Bible read in two years -- three years if you go just on Sunday -- along with a homily on those readings.

Oh and that Rosary thingy we do.

I think the issue is "reading" the Bible, not -- having or not having contact with it.

But do you study what this really means? You can hear the scripture but you do need to spend time reflecting on it personally for it to mean anything to you.

“If you go to Mass every day, you will hear the entire Bible read in two years — three years if you go just on Sunday — along with a homily on those readings.”

Or you could (I know this might be a stretch) sit down and read and study the Bible at home as well as going to church. Invite some friends, someone bake something. Serve a little coffee and next thing you know, you have a nice Bible study group going on.

As a formerly active yet malnourished Catholic, I can say that it is true, that if you attend Catholic services you will hear bible excerpts. But, even if you attend Catholic services every day you will not get more than about 10 percent of the entire Bible over the course of 3 years. You will however get as much as the Catholic leadership has decided is necessary. It will not include much from Romans, Galatians and other epistles, mainly just from the Gospels, Acts, Genesis and Exodus.
Even in evangelical services where the Bible is literally taught line apon line through every chapter and verse it typically takes at least three years and nice long in depth teaching before a pastor can say, like Paul, “I have not shunned to declare unto you the whole counsel of God.”

Something interesting is that the readings now are standardized between at least the Anglican, Lutheran, and Roman Catholic Churches (at least for the three year weekly cycle... I'm not sure about the daily).

When I get back from my Episcopal service I tend to discuss the readings with my Catholic roommates.
