It’s interesting to watch the trend of Catholics constantly giving the credit for scripture to the RCC and non Catholics giving credit to God for inspiring and preserving the scriptures. Rather telling if you ask me.

Indeed......

Really, who needs God when the Catholic church is there to take credit for everything and provide it for us?

It's telling me that if they can get people to believe it all came from them, then they have all the authority in the world to "edit" it, in addition to making it say whatever they want it to say. Whereas, if God is really who gave it to us, then he is who has the authority, not them, and his Holy Spirit does his job to illuminate God's truth from those Scriptures to all those who have surrendered themselves to his perfect will. I found this great article that addresses this point. It's called "Just Trust us on this one...wink, wink".
