I asked my grandfather (who grew up Catholic) if he was ever encouraged to read the Bible on his own. He said not once.
We are CALLED read and memorize Scripture, I can’t count the times when the Spirit has whispered something to my soul that came straight from Scripture.
My area is extreemly heavily catholic and I was born into the catholic church but left it in my teens and many of them do read their bibles daily. I've never heard of them refusing to read bibles on their own, that's just weird. I have a few family members who are still catholic and they do bible study and always read their bibles.

The mass is entirely based on the Bible, including 4 readings every Sunday mass and 3 readings every weekday.
…your grandfather was not paying attention…as most Catholics to be fair.
Watch Dr Scott Hahn..THE LAMBS SUPPER…you’re gonna be shocked at how biblical the mass is..every single action and every single word IS BIBLICAL.
True!
