Nope.
Not possible when one considers the amount of Scripture actually read over a three year cycle in Roman Catholic services.
Pre-Vatican II Missal only covered 1.0% of the OT and 16.5% of the NT for Sundays and Major Feasts
As a result of Vatican II 3.7% of the OT and 40.8% of the NT are covered for Sundays and Major Feasts....with Acts and Revelation being the least covered at 16.4% and 9.4% respectively. The majority of the readings come from the 4 Gospels with 57.8% of the verses covered.

I've often wondered why many, but not all, Roman Catholics are so illiterate regarding the Bible. Probably for many, if they don't hear it at church, they never hear it. Sadly, that can be said for many Christians as well.
You're missing a lot. The minor feasts and Ember days each have special readings; Holy Saturday has like 12. There are direct and indirect quotes of Scripture in the "non-readings" portions of Mass (Introit, Gradual). Plus, the Divine Office covers all the Psalms and has its own readings each day; it's considered part of the liturgy.

You are looking at only the three-year cycle column, when you ought to be looking a couple columns over—any Catholic who has ever attended weekday Mass during Eastertide in the new rite knows that the solid bulk of Acts is covered. It is a nice chart, and once you start citing from the far right column, relevant for the reasonably devout Catholic. Many who aren’t able to make Mass on a weekday still read and meditate upon the readings. I have a more thorough chart which also includes the office of readings in both one and two year cycles that I compiled myself.
Mrs. Don-o’s point still stands, in that it was that if a portion of a book was read at Mass, it supports the inclusion of the whole book. Revelation was a point of contention because it wasn’t read in the East at Mass—and while the East did in the end accept it into the lists of the Canon, it is my understanding that they still do not read it in the Divine Liturgy. NYer might be able to confirm this—she is Marionite.
Does your Church read Biblical Books in their entirety at Sunday Services?
