Your comment is a strange one. If you have read any of the Papal Encyclicals from any time in history, including the most recent, you would find that the Bible is a part of the life of the Catholic Church in all that we do. That it was not a part of your Catholic life is a sad travesty.

Perhaps it would be wisdom for you to read some scholarship by people with out an interest in claiming the bible as theirs

The NT as a compilation of inspired writings existed during the apostolic time..even as they were being written..

Origen, born long before Hippo had all the books of the OT and the NT . Jerome actually used Origens greek NT to translate to Latin ...

Origen believed in Universal Salvation just as the Scripture alone teaches.

I'm not saying they didn't exist. I'm saying they weren't canonized for "all" the Church until centuries after they were written.
