Catholic prelates and monks had about 1400 years to gather, control, choose, comtemplate and rework biblical era tales before Guttenberg invented the printing press.

If we can't trust many of today's bishops, why should anyone trust those in earlier eras?

LOL Bishop Tacitus? Pope Pliny? Saint Tiberius?

Up until the point of collating the disparate stories into one Bible, I'll give you the vagaries of mistranslation, reinterpretation, misattribution and plain insertion of stuff people thought should be there. But afterwards, the monk scribes were EXTREMELY careful about getting every word right, often taking one year to transcribe one copy, with thorough reviews including word and letter counts in addition to proofreading.

This statement is a logical fallacy. It's the equivalent of saying: "I heard an Irishman lie, so therefore, I don't trust Irishmen anymore."
