Catholics hear the Scripture, at minimum, every Sunday at Mass. It is a mini-Bible study because readings from the Old Testament, psalms, New Testament, and Gospels are read together to facilitate meditation on a theme. The priest then gives a talk on the readings. The prayers we recite all contain Scripture, as well.

Now add in the fact that the entire sacrifice of the Mass is Scriptural. Every Mass is a Bible study, if you know how to look for it. All Catholics are also encouraged to attend additional Bible studies at their parish, and to read the Bible on their own.

Ideally it would be. Practically... any mumble over the format seems to be accepted as a “Mass” because after all isn’t the view here that the “important thing” is the “transubstantiation miracle”? There’s room for improvement. There’s a reason you don’t usually get mumbles in Crazy Evangelical churches.
