I clarified in my previous piosts the exact sense in which it is so. The Church wrote the New Testament and clarified adn canonized the Old. Further, if it were not for the Chruch, the Old Testament would have been sacred books of the Jewish nation of no interest to Gentiles. Non of that is to deny the divine inspiration of the entire Old Testament canon (which you guys truncated) and the NEw Testament. Deal with it. The Scripture is a Catholic book.
The scriptures were written by the Holy Spirit, through the men selected by God for the honor. The NT scriptures existed before the Roman church. Rome wants to say that the church preceded the bible, that the authority of the scriptures come from the infallible church, therefore the church is equal to the scriptures..
Sorry that does not wash
The problem is the ASSUMPTION that the "church" of the NT is today the Roman Catholic church.. it was a catholic church small c.. but not the Roman church
