True enough. It also seems that many people assume that if a Catholic says the Bible is true but not all those truths are literal we are saying the Bible is in error. Worse than error, a lie, which we now admit we do not respect or follow in any fashion. Of course such an understanding of Catholic doctrine is nonsense. I am always tempted to ask, "How can the Church who's Councils' guided by the Holy Spirit, gave us the canon of the Bible be against that very Bible?". and if " Sola Scriptura" is suffecient why are there so many Protestant sects?". It does not matter, whatever the true cause in the eyes of the Anti Catholic it is always the fault of the Church and her teachings.
The Church is the guardian and the true home of Scripture.

And if Scripture doesn't agree with RC doctrine you can always fall back on: "The Pope is of so great authority and power, that he is able to modify, declare, or interpret even divine laws."  Able to over-rule "Divine Law"!!!!  Anyone who is able to over-rule divine law must have more authority than the original author!!!!

please define scripture. I believe that it is defined by the RCC as:

Scripture; that which is supported by tradition and only valid when looked at through that tradition as well as continually supported by the current pope and councils.

Who may at any time change or reconfigure those definitions as my be necessary to maintain the structure of said pope and councils.
