Their materials seem to be whatever is floating around in the public
domain but I doubt there are many Catholics among them. I know the
official line but bible study wasn't a big thing in my experience (pre-
Vatican).

The Missal used at the Traditional Mass was full of the Bible. And the Douay
Rheims English Bible predates the King James version. You might want to read
"Where We Got the Bible: Our Debt to the Catholic Church" by Bishop Graham,
who converted to Catholicism from Calvinism.

Out of curiosity, where you alive pre-Vatican II? I thought you were younger
than that.
