We take it to mean that human agency had a part in the writing of the Scripture. That St. Paul did not lack free will while under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. I admit she phrased it badly but it was not to show that St. Paul’s writings are not inspired.

This makes absolutely no sense ... So Paul had the "free will" ability to write things contrary to the things that came to his mind under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit?? How would one call that infallible or innerent or even inspired??

Why do you assume that having free will means St. Paul would write something other than what God willed him to write. The object of free will is not to oppose God’s will but to perfectly unite with it through and by grace.
