I am not a Catholic, so I don’t have that same feeling that the RC church is infallible. If someone states something as the Word of God but cannot cite the appropriate passage that backs him up and if I cannot find it myself, then I tend to look askance at that person AND his claims. Sorry.
Well, that's an interesting declaration, because you ascribe infallibility to a book that was basically assembled by a committee of Catholics.
Of course, we haven't touched upon the fallibility of those who might read the book (wrongly thinking that, because the book is infallible, their interpretation of it must be as well). We also glossed over what you meant when you said, "God gave scripture." We have a couple thousand years of Jewish tradition that says so. So which is infallible: the book or the tradition that declares it infallible?
