>>That’s an old stereotype that was more the case with the older generation. Catholic parishes have Bible studies all the time.
Vatican II put a strong emphasis on scripture reading. Catholic priests like quoting St. Jerome saying,”Ignorance of the scriptures is ignorance of Christ.”
In all of my Catholic schooling we were discouraged from reading the Bible but were taught from the catechism daily. In fact, we had to memorize, not Scripture, but catechism questions and answers. Reading the Bible was discouraged by the nuns.
