So says the judgmental papist.
Indeed, while it teaches extra Biblical traditions such as Mary's bodily assumption as infallible truth, while denying , even if not infallibly, such stories as Balaam and the donkey, Jonah and the fish, Joshua's conquests, etc., were literal, which Scripture treats them as.
I treat them as such as well. While some stories may be considered allegories, these are not in that category. They are stated as facts.
