You've provoked a very interesting discussion. I think, however, the Protestant vs. Roman Catholic way of dealing with scripture as you've characterized it, while it contains much that is true, also omits much that makes the two traditions more similar than opposed -- in some ways that would surprise most ordinary catholics and non-catholics. If you'd like to discuss this by private post, please advise. P.S. Bible comes from the Greek "biblios" (forgive the perhaps sloppy transliteration) meaning "book".

Why private post? Is there something you do not wish to share with others in the forum?
