It's too bad that most Catholics (including you) confuse this with total Biblical inerrancy and feel that in order to be loyal to their church, they must hold the Word of G-d to be full of errors and contradictions.

How so?

::Sigh:: I am sorry someone from the prestigious class of '98 has to ask that here.

Since joining FR in '99 I have argued with Catholics that the Bible is totally inerrant on all subjects. The vast majority of Catholic FReepers disagree with this (as a matter of fact, most Catholic FReepers are evolutionists).

Please note that I have not argued for sola scriptura. I myself reject sola scriptura and have access to an authoritative oral interpretive tradition. But most Catholics not only reject sola scriptura, but total inerrancy as well. Most subscribe to a sort of "partial inerrancy" in which the Bible is inerrant in matters of "faith and morals" but not on other topics.

Why don't you ask your co-religionists here about this? I'll be glad to provide you with names of Catholic errantists/evolutionists if you're interested.
