The fact is where the Bible is, there is always a high literacy rate.

LOL. Who's being silly now?

It is in countries that do not have Bibles to read (Catholic dominated countries, like Latin America and Mexico) that one has a high illiteracy rate.

I suppose you have something other than bigotry to back this up? What makes you think people in Latin America don't have Bibles?

Nothing silly about it, its a fact.

They have bibles (due to pressure from evanglical groups) but the Catholic church does not encourage bible reading. Catholics are taught that they cannot understand the Bible, so they let the Priest handle that. Catholics (with very few exceptions) are not bible readers.
