"The Bible that you and I both cherish, was compiled by the Catholic Church."

----- wasn't Diocletian burning Bibles during his reign? Wasn't Diocletian before the founding of Catholic Church?

Didn't Ignatius and Ireneas have Bibles? The Scriptures are quoted throughout the writings of the patriarchs from the 2nd century. They clearly had them.

The Scriptures were in the hands of the true Church from its beginning, starting with those Jesus read in the Temple, and then adding the Gospels and Epistles as they were written and circulated --- you know that.

They had copies of the writings, but were they put in a fixed order and established as complete Scripture?
