We go through the bible just about completely every 3 years. Daily a Old Testament reading, a psalm, a New Testament reading and a Gospel reading is read.

Not this hoary old canard again!

The Old Testament reading cycle repeats itself after two years' time, and the New Testament reading cycle repeats itself after three years' time. A daily mass-attending Catholic will, in two years' time, only hear 3378 verses out of the Old Testament (about 13.5%), and in three years' time hear 5689 verses (about 71.5%) of the New Testament. Add both of those together, and you only get 9067 verses, when the Bible has 33001 verses total. That means Catholics never hear more than 27.5% of the Bible, even in three years of daily mass.

Do the math for yourself - see the thread Lectionary Statistics - How much of the Bible is included in the Lectionary for Mass? (Popquiz!)

Catholics love to repeat their made up claims. Too bad they’re not based in facts.

How much scripture does your church read weekly? Ours is daily.

You just do NOT understand!

Have you REALLY no clue as to what ‘go through’ means?

Watch Blues Brothers again.

The police chase them THROUGH a mall.
