"I never knew most Catholics don’t read the Bible."
Can confirm. My mother had a Catholic friend and they got to talking about the Bible one day. The friend said she knew nothing about the Bible, and only read a prayer book. She went to church, too, so she wasn't on the sidelines like a lot of folks.
I worked for a time in a bookstore and had many Catholics ask for my help. They were all interested in reading the Bible, but were flummoxed by all of the different versions. I always asked whether they were Catholic or not, so I could point them to the correct section. Most weren't even aware that there were specific Catholic versions of the Bible. At times I felt like I knew more about their religion than they did.
