This is nonsense. Catholics read Scripture everyday. Our liturgy is based on Scripture. Have you ever looked at the Priest’s book (Sacramentary) with the prayers that he says at Mass? You would be so surprised because most of them come straight from Scripture.
Mark you are right on this. Faith and Scripture work together.

Yes, this is so, a favorite verse of mine is from Matthew 8:8 which we should all know from what book it is in the Bible or at least the story of it in the Gospel, when we hear (and in fact we say) "Lord I am not worthy to receive you, but only say the word and I shall be healed" Matthew 8:8 parts of the Mass are just like this if I have this correct. So it is partly ceremony in this way.

Remember though, the early Christians had no Scripture and yet had faith. The first Gospel wasn’t even written for 30 years after Christ Ascended. Faith can be bolstered through the reading of Scripture, sure.
