As you well know, NYer, the problem isn't that Catholics aren't encouraged from reading the Bible. They're discouraged from believing it contains absolutely no errors of any kind whatsoever and are encouraged to accept liberal Biblical "scholarship" because this supposedly shows how unreliable it is. And please don't quote that passage from Vatican II . . . that thing is interpreted more different ways than a Protestant interprets scripture!

And shame on you for saying the Catholic Church wrote the Bible. G-d wrote the Torah. The inspired prophets and sages wrote the Na"KH, and it was canonized by the 'Anshei-HaKenesset HaGedolah. Now, your church may have written the "new testament" . . . but you're welcome to that!

He certainly wrote the Bible, but human beings authored it. Perhaps this is just a semantical error. Otherwise, you're describing the Koran.

Nah, I'm with you on the author of the Torah ("...For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.") - but we believe that HE is also the author of the 'New Testament'.
