The belief in Scripture's inerrancy was around a long time before the Reformers' version of sola scriptura came to light

Thanks for the clarification. Contemporary Catholic scholarship doesn't appear to teach inerrancy. (E.g., I browse through my copy of the New Jerome Biblical Commentary -- which has the Imprimatur -- and it discusses the pastoral epistles as not being written by Paul, and it discusses Daniel as being a product of the second century before Christ instead of the sixth century.) Hence my misunderstanding.

"Contemporary" Catholic scholarship very often has little to do with Catholic belief or doctrine.

The authors of the Jerome Biblical Commentary were/are liberal heretics who dispense much error in their tome. It is a tragic sign of the times that this work received an imprimatur - this no longer counts for anything as so many diocesan chancellors who issue them are just as ignorant of Catholic teaching as are the authors they are vetting.

Ray Brown was a disciple of Rudolf Bultmann more than he was a Catholic.
