This verse is very clear. However...

It is an exercise in futility to quote the Bible to Catholics, as THEY DO NOT BELIEVE THE BIBLE. So I’ve been told by R.C. friends. They think some of the Bible is true, but everything the Pope says is true.

To make a point, when I ask them if I get to disregard the things in the Bible I don’t like, perhaps, “Thou shalt not kill”, would that be OK? If they can pick and choose, why can’t I?

I am a Catholic and I believe in the bible, don’t generalize numnuts...

"It is an exercise in futility to quote the Bible to Catholics, as THEY DO NOT BELIEVE THE BIBLE. So I’ve been told by R.C. friends. They think some of the Bible is true, but everything the Pope says is true."

I think that is a broad generalization. I grew up in a Catholic Bible thumping family.
