What the Catholic Church means by the “literal sense” of Scripture and what fundamentalists mean by the term are not the same. When the Church speaks of the literal sense of Scripture, She is referring to getting at the actual meaning the author intended to convey. That is not the same as interpreting every phrase literally.

Now that's comical that the catholic church, which has taken more verses out of context, claims to be getting to the actual meaning the author intended.

This is the same church that claims the Scriptures are insufficient.

Oh man....that's good.

So, true or false, evangelicals interpret every line of Scripture literally...?
