Let me leave you with this Bible passage

nihil sub sole novum nec valet quisquam dicere ecce hoc recens est iam enim praecessit in saeculis quae fuerunt ante nos

Nothing under the sun is new, neither is any man able to say: Behold this is new: for it hath already gone before in the ages that were before us.

ECCLESIASTES: Chapter 1:10

You may not know it but Catholics don't fear the Bible. The Bible and the Church are in full accord.

Why, because the Church made the Bible. This she did by collecting the Jewish and Christian writings extant, and selecting from them the books and letters that form the canon of Scripture, declaring them to be writings that were inspired by God.

Thanks for the references. Interesting reading.

But, regarding your last post, you'll have to do better than basically saying "The Catholic Church made the Bible, so everything the Catholic Church says is biblical" (at least, that seems to be what you're saying).
