What I'm getting at is, the Catholic Church gave us the 'canon' of the Bible, deciding which books were infallible and which were not, which books would be in the Bible and which would not be.

I know what you were getting at,and it seems to me that there is not general agreement on the cannon of scripture..so I am hesitant to give you ground on that ,as I see the RC church in error on some of their cannon :>)

God's Providence decided the books, not some earthly institution. At the time of the Canon's completion anyway, the church was not as corrupt as it would get just a few centuries later.
