Check the charts below. By doing "nothing to practice his faith except attending Sunday and Daily Mass (and the few Holy Days), in two years' time (after which the reading cycle ends), a Mass-attending Catholic will hear 13.5% of the Old Testament (3378 verses), and in three years' time (after which the reading cycle ends) a Mass-attending Catholic will hear 71.5% of the New Testament (5689 verses). That all adds up to a total of 9067 out of 33001 verses mentioned in the chart, i.e. only 27.5% of the entire Bible (excluding Psalms) is heard by a daily-Mass-attending Catholic.Check the charts below, taken from the article itself.

Obviously Protestants view Scripture differently than Roman Catholics who are taught they first must learn what Scripture means from the magisterium before reading it themselves.
It would then take a devout Catholic approx. 21.5 years to make it thru the bible...Not too bad considering...
It becomes clear that the fixed and reliably constant message of grace from the Scriptures was an unwelcome obstacle the Catholic Church could not tolerate. The manufacture of “Tradition eclipsing Scripture” was inevitable to facilitate morphing as the wind blows at headquarters.
Why would a Catholic argue against homosexuality, abortion or pedophilia? They can only say, “For now...” If Rome adopts these views, they would be compelled to embrace them as the new “living message”. Line up sheeple. Tragic.
“...Roman Catholics who are taught they first must learn what Scripture means from the magisterium before reading it themselves.”
Wrong. No one tells Catholics not to read the Bible. Our babies hear it every Sunday in Church and grow up hearing the Bible read to them at every Mass. Your post is passing on a falsehood. This is an example of bearing false witness against your neighbor.
