NYer, this is undoubtedly one of the worst articles I have seen on the FR religion board. Why the Latin Church would allow this puerile drivel to be published under its name is absolutely beyond me. Whoever is responsible for this should be ashamed and the editor of this site fired.
If this Mickey Addison is typical of Latin rite catechists, I can only say that its no wonder the Latin Church here is in the sorry state its in.

Ouch.
I agree the term wrote the Bible is unfortunate. It should say that the Church under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit agreed to the Canon of Scripture which was universally taught and held by most Christians. This was done in response to heresies that were arising at the time. It also settled which books were not Canonical.
And by Church I mean the undivided Church both Eastern and Western.
