BS! If you knew anything near what you think you know. The Church reads all the Scriptures. It is a three year cycle and it occurs through the daily readings. Facts are stubborn things.

No it doesn't and that has been proved time and again on FR.

They certainly are, and this "fact" is easily disproved by matching the Catholic lexionary to a list of chapters and verses in the Bible itself. We did exactly that on a thread back in 2009, with some interesting results, which I'll summarize:

Assuming a Catholic attended daily mass faithfully for three years (after which the Lectionary reading cycle ends), said Catholic heard 13.5% of the Old Testament (3378 verses), and 71.5% of the New Testament (5689 verses). That's 9067 out of 33001 verses mentioned in the lectionary, i.e. said Catholic heard 27.5% of the entire Bible (excluding Psalms) in the three-year reading cycle.
