No, if you attend mass for three years, you will still miss large portions of God’s Word. This has been analyzed on FR and posted several times.

if you attend Mass for three years you will experience FAR more biblical teaching than you would recieve during and weekly protestant service.....

Don’t kid yourself.

Instead of meaningless repetition, we are taught through whole books of the Sacred Scriptures, verse by verse, book by book. In addition, our congregation is reading through the whole Bible together in our personal devotional.

Please note, hearing Scripture read is good, but being taught what they mean in their entirety is much better.

Missing vast portions of God’s revelation leaves you deficient.
Repetitiously hearing the same thing over and over without understanding the context and meaning, is to remain in ignorance.

Best.

EVERY Prostestant church I've ever attended has had multiple folks who make it their goal to read thru the entire bible once a year; on their own schedule and time allocations.

They are ENCOURAGED to read it by the clergy.

Does Catholicism having folks that do the same; and are they encouraged to do so?
