Thanks for the links, Alex. Catholicism is absolutely allergic to Biblical facticity, confusing it (as do Fundamentalist Protestants) with Biblical sufficiency. In fact, I seem to be the only person who understands the difference. Maybe I'm crazy?

[Pope Pius XII]

Dei Verbum:

“Therefore, since everything asserted by the inspired authors or sacred writers must be held to be asserted by the Holy Spirit, it follows that the books of Scripture must be acknowledged as teaching solidly, faithfully and without error that truth which God wanted put into sacred writings (5) for the sake of salvation.”

The medieval exegetes taught a carefully nuanced four-fold interpretation of scripture, understanding that the Bible has literal, allegorical, moral and anagogical meanings.

Maybe you are. Tell me what was written above the head of Jesus on the Cross and from what source. When you are done, would you do me the favour of telling me the events of Easter morning - ie who did what and when and from what source? Paul cannot even get his story straight in his two tellings of his conversion in Acts. If you do not read the Bible with the guidance of the Church directed by the Holy Spirit, why then, you may come up with any interpretation that humans can conceive of.
