I was in elementary school and during Vatican II, and we never read from the Bible, although I had a children's Bible at home and read it from cover to cover.
But even worse, we didn't hear it in Church, either, because two of the readings were in Latin....
So instead of hearing God's word four times--three readings and a responsorial psalm--all we heard was the Gospel.
No, the Latin Mass wasn't better....but it gave everyone a chance to say their rosaries.
The 70's was my ten year break from church, so I have no idea what happened during that time. I just remember when I did go back I found a parish that was like a breath of fresh air.
