I think it is possible to be both a Catholic and a Bible believing Christian.

Of course! It is ignorant protestants who have made a distinction, not us. What are the authorities of the Church? The Deposit of Faith (big "T" Tradition), Scripture, and the Magisterial teaching through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Without the Bible, there is no Church. Without the Church, we would not have the Canon of Scripture. We are Bible-believing people.

I answered your other challenges on another thread. I invite you to my comments there rather than repeating myself here.

Thanks. Also I neglected one other Catholic practice I disagree with: While the Bible does state you must confess your sins, I have never found any requirement that you must confess only to a priest.
