“we can be confident that modern Bibles are over 95% accurate and true to the original writings.”

Nah...Protestant Bibles contain more than 5% error, compared to the Catholic Bible they watered down.
When you add to that, the notion that the Holy Spirit reveals different interpretations, to each of us individually, the compounded error rate is astounding.

"Nah...Protestant Bibles contain more than 5% error, compared to the Catholic Bible they watered down."

No they don't. Please give an example of the error you cite. I would also note Protestant translations are based on ancient Greek texts (over 6,000) and not a 5th Century Latin tranaslation.

Nobody watered anything down.

You can compare all the versions verse by verse, including the Catholic Bible, which has its own translation errors. In addition, there are links to the original Hebrew and Greek for word studies.

When you add to that, the notion that the Holy Spirit reveals different interpretations, to each of us individually, the compounded error rate is astounding.

A notion only in the imagination of Catholics. The Holy Spirit does not reveal different interpretations. He cannot contradict Himself as God cannot lie and cannot change.

Your remarks are broad, yet the claim implicit behind them is a fundamental issue , and i think a few questions are in order.

1. Which predominate Protestant Bibles versus which officially approved RC English Bible would do you compare them to?

2. Does being the steward of Divine revelation mean that you are the assuredly infallible interpreters of it?

3. Does your implied protection against different interpretations include approve all the notes in your Bibles?

4. Is true that within the parameters of Catholic teaching the RC have great liberty to interpret the Bible?

5. How do you know that Roman Catholic sources are not teaching contrary to official doctrine?

6. What is the basis for your assurance that Rome has spoken infallibly?

7. Can RCs have any disagreement on teachings that are not infallibly defined?

8. Do these constitute the majority or the minority of what RCs believe and practice?

9. Are the Scriptures the supreme assuredly infallible authority for Catholics?

10. What is the basis for the claim to be the One True Church in Catholicism, Roman or Orthodox?

11. Are there divisions within Catholicism on doctrinal issues?

12. Do divisions mean the basis for achieving spiritual unity is invalid?

13. What jurisdiction does the assuredly infallible magisterium of Rome effectively exercise?

14. Do you think Sola Scriptura means only the Scriptures can be used in understanding what doctrinal truth is in the light of Scripture?

15. Do most Protestant denominations who hold to Scripture as being the wholly inspired literal Word of God as supreme (“evangelicals”) manifest a common consent to core teachings, while allowing varying degrees of dissent on other issues?

16. Do the above typically have their own magisterium over their own flock?

17. Does evidence on evangelicals overall testify to a greater conservatism and unity in certain core doctrinal and moral truths and commitment than among Roman Catholics overall?

18. How many of the above answers are a matter requiring interpretation, and what makes you correct over other Catholics who disagree with your answers here?

19. Did you make a fallible or infallible interpretation when you first trusted the RC church to be perpetually, assuredly infallible (when speaking according to defined criteria)?

20. Do both Protestants and Catholics hold to a perpetual, assuredly infallible supreme authority on earth, but cannot claim assured infallibility in understanding them?

21. In Scripture, did formal decent of office assure perpetual authority? What was the real basis for authority for Christ and the apostles?

22. In Scripture by what primary means did assurance of Truth and that men of God were such instrumentally come by?

That is all for now.
