No. Although the catholic church call themselves a "christian" church, their "Mass" and other religious beliefs are based on their own loose interpretations of The Bible, but are non-scriptural. (Which is why the Pope had forbidden catholics to read the bible themselves in the past)
I am a Roman Catholic priest and the answer by the person above is very anti-Catholic and absolutely incorrect. The person is obviously ignorant of the Catholic faith. Nearly every word of the Catholic Mass comes DIRECTLY from the bible. Plus Catholics hear three readings at every Mass and over a 3 year period hear over 50% of the bible proclaimed. Furthermore, no Pope has EVER forbidden Catholic to read the bible.

How is the Bible used in a Roman Catholic Church?
It is the source of the the Readings and the Gospel at every Mass, and is the inspiration for the responsorial psalms.It is the basis of the Catholic faith and as such influences all their services.Basically, the entire Mass is from the Bible, in one way or another, as well as the entire Divine Office. Nothing in the Catholic faith can in anyway contradict the Bible, it is one of the two sources (along with Sacred Tradition) of the Catholic faith. Further, the Bible is used for personal reading and reflection, as shown in the practice of Lectio Divina and the Breviary.Please note that the Catholic Church is NOT Bible based, the Catholic Church wrote the Bible, decided which books would be in the New Testament, and preserved the Bible for all these centuries: the Church is not based on the Bible, the Bible is based on the Church.

When do you here the Bible during Mass?
Roman Catholic AnswerThe entire Mass from the introductory greeting to the dismissal is taken from the Bible. In addition to the fixed parts of the Mass - entirely taken from the Bible, the first half of the Mass, the Liturgy of the Word, is based on the Jewish service and is built around three lengthy readings from the Bible, with a Psalm between the first two - usually the Old Testament, and the New Testament (other than the Gospels), followed by a Gospel reading. The readings for Sunday Mass are on a three year cycle and the readings for weekday Mass on are a two year cycle. At the end of the cycle you will have read nearly the entire Bible, certainly from every book in the Bible.
What is special about the Catholic mass?
The Catholic Mass is a liturgical Mass whose roots are deeply in early Christianity and in the Bible. Nearly everything said in a Mass is from the Bible, and many of the images and actions that take place can be found in the book of Revelations, in the description of the heavenly Jerusalem. Catholic Mass also places heavy emphasis on the Eucharist (it's not technically a Mass if there is no Liturgy of the Eucharist). Catholics believe Mass is the same sacrifice Jesus offered (not a recreation of it or a repetition but the exact same sacrifice), offered in an unbloody manner.
