works only biblically ignorant Catholics


I feel like the stereotype of Catholics being biblically illiterate is an outdated stereotype from prior to Vatican II when the mass was in Latin. For the last 50+ years, the mass has been said in the vernacular, and the rotation of scripture ensures that someone who regularly attends mass will hear the entire bible every few years.

That was certainly part of the problem, but even so -- it's an understandable and true "stereotype"; RCCs have long been taught to rely on priests and clergy for Biblical texts and guidance as "Intermediaries." They haven't exactly been encouraged to read The Good Book. Lately, thankfully that is changing.

The other major problem (going back hundreds of years at least) was the Vatican's insistence on restricting ownership of the Bible, expressly only within the possession of RCC clergy (under penalty of death or excommunication.)
