Sadly, not true at all. The Catholic Church teaches and follows the Bible better than any other sect. Catholic interpretation of the Bible carefully follows the teachings set forth by Christ and the Apostles--not the reinterpretation by Protestants fifteen hundred years later.
The glib recital of John 3:16 is a case in point. Notice Weatherman could not even explain what this means. He cannot define salvation. He cannot sum up his faith in his own words--which is the very essence of someone who does not follow or teach the Bible. He dismisses (or doesn't remember) that even Satan quoted scripture passages at Jesus, the perfect example of a being who can glibly quote scripture without following/teaching it.
Catholics who attend daily Mass (in my parish alone this is 150 people each day--and there are at least three other parishes within fairly quick driving distance of this parish with similar statistics) read through and are taught the entire Bible every year. Everyone else covers the entire Bible (readings and teachings) in a span of three years. For Catholics, John 3:16 isn't a facile, smug rattling off a single passage. It launches us in to the entirety of scripture--an entire scripture that is meant to be actually lived, not excerpts to be quoted as we live.
