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.

I stand corrected.

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

However, I DID NOT call you a liar.

Can you indicate a Protestant denomination that has a reading schedule that includes the ENTIRE Bible over a proscribed period of time?

I have to say that's around what I would have figured if forced to guess. I know there are massive chunks of the OT that don't get read, and even the office of readings skips stuff.

In the Pepsicola Church if you did Daily prayer you did the entire psalter every 7 weeks and a great chunk of the OT and, as far as I know all the NT in two years.
