“It’s your faith the puts Catholic doctrine on a higher more holy level than the Bible.”

This is a common misunderstanding. The Catholic church teaches thusly:

http://www.vatican.va/archive/ccc_css/archive/catechism/p1s1c2a2.htm

paragraph 82

“As a result the Church, to whom the transmission and interpretation of Revelation is entrusted, “does not derive her certainty about all revealed truths from the holy Scriptures alone. Both Scripture and Tradition must be accepted and honored with EQUAL sentiments of devotion and reverence.”

“Again preaching that the Christianity has as it’s source Catholism. Would that the source of inspiration for that org be Jesus instead of the seen the other way around.”

When did the first bible appear and when was it written?

Tradition on the same level as God breathed God inspired Holy scripture? Not from God, but from the emanations of man.

Still, some Catholics say the Catholic traditions are more important to the Catholic than scripture [thus the "common misunderstanding"], you statement not withstanding.

"Again preaching that the Christianity has as it's source Catholicism. Would that the source of inspiration for that org be Jesus instead of the seen the other way around."

It really doesn't matter, but it was written over centuries starting with Moses. [to continue debating who put the Bible together has been done many times here at FR, it's turned into beating a dead horse]

The important thing is that Christianity has it's source as Jesus, not Catholicism.

And certainly NOT Catholicism being the source of Christianity.
