Catholics are quick to accept Mary appearing on a cheese sandwich, in a tunnel on a New Jersey expressway, or in a corn field in Spain but they cannot reconcile themselves to God's divine intervention of creating His written word.

You're talking about the behavior of ignorant, simple people. It's akin to saying, "Protestants are quick to play with snakes and give money to televangelists who claim 'God will call me home' if they don't get the money they need to build their air-conditioned doghouses, but they know nothing about authentic church history or sacramental theology."

And it's just as offensive.

Read the authoritative teaching of the Church on the topic of Scripture. It's called Dei Verbum and completely trumps anything the Catholic bishops of the UK might say, think, or do.

I admire the faith of the simple people in seeing the face of Jesus and the Blessed mother in images in our life.
