Sure did. The New Testament is a collection of letters written by Catholic Saints to already existing Catholic Churches. Of COURSE we teach the Catholic writers were Divinely inspired and that which is Canonised (by the Catholic Church) is indeed the Word of God.

Your boy, Luther, admitted as much...

"We concede -- as we must -- that so much of what they [the Catholic Church] say is true: that the papacy has God's word and the office of the apostles, and that we have received Holy Scriptures, Baptism, the Sacrament, and the pulpit from them. What would we know of these if it were not for them?"

Not to be terribly difficult, but I'm not Lutheran. You assume an association that I don't.

Methodists trace through the Anglicans to the Old English Catholic Church which had its foot in the orthodox camp.

Most, however, when they say "C"atholic Church mean Roman Catholic.

Nonetheless, I still wouldn't say that they "wrote" it. Abingdon Press puts out a lot of books, but they don't write them.
