So, please explain the Dead Sea Scrolls which predate the Roman church by hundreds of years. Your history regarding the preservation of Scripture is shallow at best.
Was the New Testament in the Dead Sea Scrolls? That's news to me...

So, Scripture starts at Matthew 1:1 for you. That explains a lot.
BTW, the D.S.S. have all of the books found in Catholic "Apocrypha" - which is one of the principle debates on the origins of canon. The Scriptures are not the sole possession of the Catholic Church. The 'New Testament' itself places the preservation of Scripture with the Jews.
