Scripture is inerrant -- it was not "written" by fallible men in that they originated the content; the Holy Spirit -- God -- inspired them to write scripture. The Roman Catholic "Church" isn't responsible for writing the Bible; God's word would be made manifest regardless -- as it was made manifest through the actions of GOD ALMIGHTY. He used fallible men, true -- just like he used a fallible, fallen woman named Mary to bear Christ -- to record HIS words. We have scripture despite the Romish "Church."

AMEN! Great teaching.

It IS an old, worn-out canard flung about by the Roman Catholic "Church" to try to refute Sola Scriptura without really knowing what means. Do you think it means that you have to find something word-for-word in scripture? If you do, you're incorrect. Basically it means that scripture is the ultimate authority for doctrine and teaching -- because it is the inerrant, inspired word of God.

AMEN! Scripture, our only rule of faith and practice.

When Roman Catholics actually read the Bible they see the glaring contradictions between Rome's teaching and the word of God. At that point, many leave the errors of Rome in the dust and head for a Bible-believing church where they find fellowship with saints who know whom they have believed.

Hmm ~ getting off track, but the Bible clearly identifies Mary as among those whose existence is specifically prophesied.

Hence, using the term "fallen" with regard to Mary suggests powerfully that the writer of the piece, for all his claims of Biblical inerrancy, is actually not a believer himself.
