funny how the roman catholics are always alleging the existence of 18 jillion variants of the scripture to their protestant and orthodox brethren (ignoring the reality of how it actually plays out), then forever among the roman catholics the intrigue is what pope and what person and what prelate and what cardinal said this or that or when and how. when you presume to be able to build your own uber-bible it soon expands to unmanageable proportions!

Gossip and backbiting are common human phenomena, hardly limited to Catholics.

There is no "uber-Bible."

There is a Bible and there is an authentic interpretation thereof.

The rest is private judgment and chatter.

The Catechism of the Cathoic Church is 825 pages long. That's long, but not unimaginable. We are talking about the teachings of Christ's Church on earth.

Then again, the Catechism doesn't exhaust all of our knowledge about our faith. How could it?

The faith is simple enough for a child to grasp (the Golden Rule), and deep enough to drown an elephant (St. Thomas Aquinas).
