Saying so, does not make it true. I provided a link from the US Conference of Catholic Bishops which points out only the Lectionary is used for readings. The book on the alter is the Roman Missal. I provided links for the books used. generally folks don't provide lists of what's not used, but the link from the USCCB provides the reasoning for not using a Bible itself. Also, before Trent, the readings came from several separate books. Note that the Tridentine Lectionary was more limited and covered only one years worth if readings, whereas the one prescribed by Vatican II covers 3 years worth.
"The Catholic Church compiled the Bible!"
No. The Catholic Church compiled their doctrines, Lectionaries, Missals, ect... The Bible was compiled by those who were taught by God.
"When you say "not all of scripture is read at Mass", are you suggesting that other churches read the entire bible during their service from Genesis to Revelation?"
No.
"He blesses the congregation with the Bible from which he has just read the Gospel!"
No; that is a Lectionary he read from.
"Are your statements based on experience or hearsay?"
Experience, of course. I was told during the Mass that there normally was no Bible present during a Mass and we went over that whole subject after the Mass. There was no time to rustle up a Bible, so I had to peruse and choose from a pile of what was at hand.

LOL! What a miserable logic FAIL if ever there was one. The fact that a lectionary is used for readings no way negates the presence of a bible.
But just so you know, what we today call “the Bible” consists of those books which were deemed by the Catholic church to be suitable for reading in the Catholic liturgy.
