Yes the ekklesia, not the RCC. There is a difference.

Rather the Catholic church takes credit for putting the Bible together.

But it goes beyond that. there are too many claims that the Catholic church WROTE the Bible.

Which is NOT true.

And as for simply assembling it, that's no big deal. it certainly doesn't give them any legitimate claim to ownership of it or special ability to *correctly* "interpret" it.
