"There it is in black and white in your own post, and somehow Roman Catholics still miss it.

Astounding that Catholics miss what isn't there? Good thing we didn't miss what is there as you have so obviously done;

In keeping with the Lord's command, the Gospel was handed by the apostles by the spoken word of their preaching, by the example they gave, by the institutions they established, what they themselves had received - whether from the lips of Christ, from his way of life and his works, or whether they had learned it at the prompting of the Holy Spirit In order that the full and living Gospel might always be preserved in the Church the apostles left bishops as their successors. They gave them their own position of teaching authority. Indeed, the apostolic preaching, which is expressed in a special way in the inspired books, was to be preserved in a continuous line of succession until the end of time. This living transmission, accomplished in the Holy Spirit, is called Tradition.

LOLOL. Exactly like the liberals who believe in the "living Constitution" which can be altered and changed on a whim.

Your own catechism says the writings of Scripture were authored by God.

And then that same catechism hedges its bet and says something else.

"All things to all people" does not the Christian distinctive make.
