Leaving aside the fact that the average nondenominational/Evangelical hears less of the Bible at service than a Catholic hears at Sunday Mass, a Catholic who attends Mass daily will hear the entire Bible read to him over the three year cycle.
The percentage of non-Catholic pastors who systematically read the entire Bible from their pulpits to their congregation is approximately zero. The percentage of Catholic pastors who do so is approximately 100%.

a Catholic who attends Mass daily will hear the entire Bible read to him over the three year cycle Sadly, that information is incorrect. Have you ever read through the entire Bible for yourself (instead of having the priest read it to you)? Check out the reading charts on that Lectionary thread, and compare the list to the index in your own Bible. "The Entire Bible" that's read in Mass is really only about one-fourth.

Have you ever been in a worship service with expository preaching?
