A play upon semantics. I would suggest you search the scriptures and compare Catholic theology against them.

Unlike what is reported in this article I do not believe the Bible to have "erroneous facts". If that is what the Catholic Church is teaching then I don't have to reconsider my view.

I suggest you don't ass-u-me that I haven't done so. Quite the contrary, I suggest you search the scriptures and compare Protestant theology against them. I don't see how anyone can honestly read the Scriptures and be other than Catholic. However, it's not at all a play on semantics; it's a real difference. "Jesus founded the Church and appointed Peter as His vicar" is very different from "Peter founded the Church". If you can't read and understand simple English, I shan't waste any further time 'debating' with you. What's so hard about saying "I misunderstood the Catholic Faith"? For you to say that would be the Truth, and the Truth will make you free.

Is the Earth flat? How old is it? What is the "sky", what is above it and what below it? What is the value of "pi"?

The question you have to ask yourself is this: ‘Where did we get the Bible?’ Until you can give a satisfactory answer, you aren’t in much of a position to rely on the authority of Scripture or to claim that you can be certain that you know how to accurately interpret it.
