Thank you so much for sharing your insights and concerns, dear brother in Christ!

I have been reading things like that, too, which suggest the Scripture is subordinate to the Catholic Church's teaching.

But Cronos' reply to this post is very encouraging. Thank you, dear Cronos!

I didn't mean it to be encouraging, just stating the fact that Church belief is that the Bible is inerrant. This has been repeated into modern times.

HD made an error as an inanimate object cannot be infallible, but it can be inerrant (which the Bible is) and compounded it by extrapolating the misconception that the Bible was not, to saying that "most Catholics do not believe that..." which is quite an incorrect assumption. Church belief is clear, the scriptures are inerrant -- we may believe that individual interpretations of this are fallible, but that does not negate the inerrancy of scripture itself.

Bluntly, Alamo-Girl, it’s a hit-piece by the MSM. The Scripture is GOLD-Standard to us, Tradition must be verified against it. You may not believe that we hold Church teachings, but we do not in any way subordinate scripture.
