“You read the Bible because the Catholic Church compiled it, and decided what would be put in that Bible.”
Hmmm...so the Catholic Church’s list of scripture agrees with Protestants?
“One thing must be emphatically stated. The New Testament books did not become authoritative for the Church because they were formally included in a canonical list; on the contrary, the Church included them in her canon because she already regarded them as divinely inspired, recognising their innate worth and general apostolic authority, direct or indirect. The first ecclesiastical councils to classify the canonical books were both held in North Africa — at Hippo Regius in 393 and at Carthage in 397 — but what these councils did was not to impose something new upon the Christian communities but to codify what was already the general practice of those communities.”

You have that backwards. Protestants agree with the Bible and what Catholics said is devinely inspired scripture. You have the Bible to read because of the Catholic Church. End of story. Move on. You can’t change history. The Bible is a Catholic document. The only scripture that PROTESTants do not agree with it are the books that King Luther took out of the Bible, BECAUSE HE DIDN’T AGREE, with them being there.
