As God could raise children of Abraham from stones, He could provide for the writing, collation, publication and dissemination of His Word. He used the Catholic Church for that purpose. He could have used any tool. The sad part of this type of argument is that instead of being in humble awe at the privilege of being the Lord’s instrument for this task, some Catholics take the glory of that accomplishment from God and apply it to their organization. The various councils met, they did as they were going to do. It was God’s decision, not the Catholic Church’s. Or did the council’s sovereignty exceed God’s?
