The Dearth of Scriptural Knowledge

I think what he may be responding to (if I may be so presume being a convert myself) is that there is a dearth of Scriptural knowledge among the average Catholic. And the traditional Protestant has had a knowledge and love of Scripture which it seems was missing in the general Catholic congregation of the past few generations. However, as was mentioned the Church is rich in her history concerning Scripture and in her understanding of how we are saved. And the Pope's present book, Jesus of Nazareth, and the thrust of his potificate is to realize in us, the love and knowledge of Scripture. As St Ignatius has stated:"Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ". This, Benedict is seeking to undo and I believe he is greatly succeeding.
