Believe what you want, but just because your religion teaches/believes it doesn’t make it true for everyone.

Catholic reasoning on this is that all the authors of NT Scripture were the *church fathers*. The RCC is the one true church. Therefore all the authors of the NT were by default Roman Catholic, therefore the Roman Catholic church "wrote" the NT.

There's no way it can with any credibility claim to have written the OT, so they're claim on it is that they were the first to compile it. That then makes them responsible for the OT as well.

So, they then claim that the Bible is their creation and castigate any who want to return to it as a point of authority in spiritual matters.

Clear as mud. Right?

There's enough circular reasoning in that line of though to drive anyone batty.

LOL!! Here's one to make you bang your head against the wall: The RCC claims infallibility when claiming it's infallible. By whose authority? The RCC. It's infallible.

Like a big old teacup ride. Let's turn the cup harder and go FASTER!
