It wouldn't make any difference if a Catholic read the Bible once a month, they are not allowed to draw any conclusion except the conclusion the Church tells them.

False, not to mention silly.

What they aren't allowed to do is draw conclusions that contradict the teachings of the church. Big difference between "you can't draw any conclusions" and "you can't draw conclusions that contradict the following teachings Catholics are required to believe".

(Mind you, if they draw conclusions which contradict dogma, they're simply not reading the Scriptures correctly, or not understanding the dogma, or both.)

OK, then let's go with:

It wouldn't make any difference if a Catholic read the Bible once a month, they are not allowed to draw any conclusion except the conclusion the Church tells them that contradict Church teaching as told to them by the Church.

Is that better? You're free to think what you will as long as you agree with my conclusions. Sounds like this administration.
