Bible is foreign territory

How is it and why is it that so few people know anything about the Bible?

Why is it that so many liturgical prayers are said so quickly and almost in a meaningless fashion.

Read a Psalm to a group of people and they will look on in awe, wondering what it is.

And this didn't happen today or yesterday.  What exaclty is the Catholic ethos in Catholic-run schools?

Catholics were not encouraged to read the bible in case if gave them subversive ideas. Only the Douay version and under supervision.
