Roman Catholic Bible Engagement Survey Suggests Need to Support Scripture Use and Literacy
The results of a survey commissioned by the Bible Society, in partnership with the Home Mission Desk of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales, suggest that Catholics may need greater help in deepening their knowledge and use of, and prayer with, the Bible each day....
Bishop Kieran Conry, Chair of the Bishops' Department of Evangelisation and Catechesis, said:....“A large number of Catholics in England and Wales are reading and using the Bible which is encouraging, but there is also a large number who are not. We hope that this weekend’s Catholic Bible Sunday, which falls during the Year of Faith, and the other initiatives being put in place, will equip Catholics to make praying with and reading the Bible part of their day.”

Well, anything that promotes reading the bible among any group of Christians is a good thing.
