Considering how little of the Bible Roman Catholics hear at Mass it is quite possible.

Ebb's a pre Vatican 2 Roman Catholic. Per the website, catholic-resources maintained by Felix, Just, S. J. (http://catholic-resources.org/Lectionary/Statistics.htm) we have this:

NT Summary: Pre-Vatican II Missal Sundays and Major Feasts

% of NT verses used: 16.5%

For the OT the results are 1.0% (not including Psalms).

This helps us understand why so many of Roman Catholics are illiterate in the very book they claim to have given everyone.

Felix Just notes on his webpage:Although I am a Roman Catholic priest and have taught mostly in Catholic institutions, I hope that these materials are academically reliable and pastorally adaptable enough to be useful for many other Christians and non-Christians as well.Felix Just, S.J., Ph.D.
