[Notwithstanding]

Everything the Catholics do at Mass is based on scripture or is scripture itself.

We read the bible and have a lesson on a portion of it every single day such that - in addition to reading and studying the bible privately - a catholic who attends MAss will read and study the entire bible every three years.

Are you trying to tell me that MOST (Operative word) Catholics actually even follow along in the dried and true order of worship? I have yet to see a bible in the pews of a Catholic Church. The scriptures may be written in the bulletin, but rearely followed. You are truly an exception to the rule when it comes to Catholics and I truely commend you for your faith (no sarcasm present). It is not just the Catholic chuches that have that problem, it is all of the protestant churches I have ever been to as well.
