But does she venerate them as having recorded real historical events? All Christendom has always regarded them as historical until the mucky-ups-come-lately got in the act. Or did I miss something along the way?

Yes, from BlackRain's link above, VII council document Dei Verbum states very clearly the following .....

19. Holy Mother Church has firmly and with absolute constancy held, and continues to hold, that the four Gospels just named, whose historical character the Church unhesitatingly asserts, faithfully hand on what Jesus Christ, while living among men, really did and taught for their eternal salvation until the day He was taken up into heaven (see Acts 1:1).

Obviously, the ignorant bishop not only departed from Tradition, he is not even familiar with the Vatican II documents.

Whew! That's a relief. Thanks for getting that out there. I was afraid they changed something and I missed it.
