You mean the Bible that the Catholic Church compiled and Catholics determined what would be divinely inspired and not be considered divinely inspired and the Word of God.
The Catholic Church has never in 20 centuries erred in any matters pertaining to morality. None. Nada, not the first one. That is because God’s Word never changes and Catholic doctrine is not determined on a show of hands like the vast majority of protestant denominations.

I hear the sounds of a prideful rooster claiming he caused the sun to rise...
“The Catholic Church has never in 20 centuries erred in any matters pertaining to morality. None. Nada, not the first one. That is because God’s Word never changes and Catholic doctrine is not determined on a show of hands like the vast majority of protestant denominations.”
Really??? Fascinating, except moral errors of practice are found in those 20 centuries from popes to priests. But you excuse that? Even though they are in charge?
Does that include the actual immoral practices of those who hold/held authority in the church, or just its theoretical teachings and writings, apart from what its leaders actually do?
If you mean the objective statements of God’s word never change, we have common ground. If you mean the institution of the Roman church that shuffled child molesters around to protect them from prosecution while giving them fresh kids to go after, you are wrong. To this we could add additional moral failings of “popes”.
Really, in the end, your statements are just so much bluster. There is a tendency to excuse behavior while claiming supremacy, to the point where the words of your post attempt to steal glory and sovereignty from God, while exalting your Roman group. Never nice to exalt yourself above God.
It is the fast path to the basement.
While you post these things, you try to beat down everyone else who loves and follows Christ.
Psa 12:6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
Psa 12:7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
Psa 12:8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
Of course this is the information put out by your religion that you are repeating but as we can see, your religion is trying to steal God's glory by corrupting the word of God with its deception...
2Co 4:2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. God picked the canon and God preserved the scriptures...
Your religion gets zero credit...Why you guys continue to push this deceit upon unsuspecting Catholics would be a mystery but many of us know the answer...
God in his scriptures has something to say about you people who try to deceive and pervert his words...
2Co 2:17 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.

Oh what nonsense...How may priests, bishops and cardinals has any of your popes excommunicated for sexual immorality??? None??? Well fancy that...
And the other one??? More nonsense....Most all Catholic doctrine was chosen by a show of hands in the many councils your religion dreamed up...And NEVER with unanimous consent...
Aren't you the one who claimed to have a masters degree in theology? How is it you can seriously say that the Catholic Church "determined what would be divinely-inspired" Scripture or not??? Am I to understand that you think your church had the power to thumbs up or thumbs down what Almighty God delivered to the believers? That your church could tell the Holy Spirit what they would keep and what they would chuck? Is that how you imagine we got the Old Testament Scriptures as well? Not just presumptuous, but blasphemous as well. Here are some links that explain how we really got the sacred Scriptures:
