No one cares what a Catholic belief is as long as we have the bible to set things straight...
There are over a billion that care because the Bible and catholic teaching are one.
Between the resurrection and the Ascension Jesus commanded the Apostles to teach all nations all that He had taught them. He told them that He would send a helper (the Paraclete) and that He would be with them all days until the end of the age. It is preposterous to conclude that this commission would be fulfilled by the Apostles writing the New Testament. It is even more preposterous to believe that only four of the Apostles had obeyed God and not a single written word from the others.
It is absolutely bizarre to presume that the Church Jesus founded would have been a teaching Church for it's first fifty years and then only a librarian until the Paraousia. Over centuries and generations languages and circumstances change and someone must answer when every person who truly seeks to know the Word inevitably asks; "What did Jesus mean?".
As we see every day in this forum there was not a word uttered by Christ that has not been met with a great number of diverse interpretations, some intelligent and some extremely attractive, but contradicting each other. How are we to know without a teacher? Even the most ardent Sola Scriptura proponent will concede that they required teacher to teach them to speak a language and a teacher to teach them to read as a prerequisite to encountering the Word.
Peace be with you.
But the Bible doesn’t support what you say. James was the presiding officer of the Council, but the first twelve chapters of Acts tell us who the more important figure is.
