Where in the Bible does it say it was written by Catholics since that word was not used until a long time afterwards? The only thing Catholics did was to bring the written books together. They had nothing to do with writing it.
that's true, they compiled written documents, copied the old testament books, edited out some books they felt weren't inspired...all this with the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The result was, of course, the bible...the complete Bible, not the edited version. Over a 1,600 year period they protected, HAND COPIED, and provided it to those who could afford it.Libraries, Governments, the wealthy all over the world possessed the real bible. The average citizen certainly couldn't possess one as they were too rare and expensive. When the printing press was invented, the bible became much easier to obtain but alas, the vast majority of the people couldn't read because there was nothing to learn on and nothing to read. However, very shortly after that, people began to learn and actually own a printed document...the bible was sought after and provided. The Catholic church, at that time, was very careful to ascertain that only the true translation would be provided to the people...they were, at that time, the "protectors of Christianity" because all sorts of reinterpretations were presenting themselves. Thanks to the Catholic church, we have the true, unedited version of God's holy book.
