Uh, what? If this sort of thing was true I think my own parents or grandparents could have attested to it, but they've never said anything of the sort. You have one source? All the Catholics I've known, old and young, have never said anything like this. And many are skeptical Catholics as well. If there was something like that happening they would be telling about it often.
I'm not sure where this comes from, but here's what I know: I have a bible from my great, great grandmother - so I can confirm that they were not banned from owning, reading, and reflecting on the word of God.
I think you're confused with Rome's banning of printing the Bible in any language other than Latin. So yes, same idea of not wanting the common layman to be able to read and learn for himself in the common tongue, but Bibles weren't outright banned...
Plus the catholic church banned members from owning Bibles. I wonder why...
Uhh, I'm Catholic and I've never been banned from owning Bibles. Every Catholic shop I see sells Bibles of various types.
I heard Catholics have to put a banana in their shoe before they walk outside.
Cucumbers on the table before they let anyone inside their home, especially cats.
I'm sure you're kidding but just in case, no we don't have to wear banana shoes.
This was a rather funny turn of events. I found kunkussion's mention of cucumbers on the table particularly funny, in light of this:

I don't believe any of this, but it is funny.
Before you were born. I had a good friend, a recovering Catholic, who told me this was true.

That's absurd.
This is so wrong. Freemason propaganda. You can literally look this stuff up, you know?
