Do you know that Catholics are still FORBIDDEN from buying a bible and reading it?? Yep that is so

Nope, that isn't so...In my house there are probably 6 bibles, (Catholic) of various values and from various periods of time....I have mine from when I was a student in a CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL....we have a nice leather bound Bible on a very nice Maahogany stand and some smaller but very thick versions that we got somewhere...Our local Catholic book store sells a lot of Bibles and since I was in school in the 1950's, I have NEVER heard of Catholics not being URGED to own and read the bible.

How many of them have you read through?

I was in grade school in the 50's.. Catholic grade school...never a word about reading the bible.. all we did was memorize the catechism
