I will ask you this question, because one of the other Catholics refuse to answer it. If the Bible and the Catholic church disagree about something, which is correct and which is in error?

It's not possible to respond to your question as you've framed it. You're begging the question here, even if you don't realise it. To say that "the Bible disagrees" is to assume that the Bible speaks for itself. This is the very question we're debating, of course -- which I claim to be an impossibility. A more accurate way of putting it is "so-and-so's reading of the Bible disagrees with the Catholic Church."

Put that way, if a private interpretation of the Bible is at variance with the Catholic Church, the private reading is in error. As the Bible itself says.
