One of those "dozens" does know that you can attend Mass for 100 years and never hear the entire Bible.

Untrue. And since many Protestant churches have no set guidelines for Scripture readings, it is likely that you will mainly hear what the minister prefers.

What IS true is that you can read your Protestant Bible every day for the rest of your life and not hear the entire Bible because IT'S NOT ALL THERE.

Untrue.

I am constantly amazed at how many "knowledgeable" Catholics are so quick to throw out one word or one line rebuttals and expect to be taken seriously.

I would expect you to provide some reliable information before calling me a liar.

How is this? You have no idea what you are talking about.

You can attend Mass for 100 years and never hear the entire Bible.

How much of the Bible is included in the Lectionary for Mass?

Not as much as you might think, yet far more than was included in the Roman Missal before the Second Vatican Council!

Lectionary Statistics

If one includes all the Masses for weekdays, rituals, votives, the propers and commons of saints, and special needs and occasions, the Lectionary for Mass now covers much of the NT (about 90% of the Gospels, 55% of the rest: Acts, Epistles, Revelation), but still very little of the OT (slightly over 13%), but this is understandable, given how much longer the OT is.

An Introduction to the Lectionary for Mass

I await your proof that what I say is untrue.
