Nothing silly about it, its a fact.
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?
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.
Lie. It says right in each Bible that one can earn an indulgence for faithfullr reading it. So take your nonsense elsewhere. Lies about Catholics don't ingratiate yourself to anyone or serve the God of Truth.
