Then why do you say the Catholic Church created the Bible. That the Catholic Church is the source of knowledge and direction.

Why does the Catholic Church feel the need to create all this doctrine to supplement the Bible?

Why does the Catholic Church say I have to go through an earthly intermediary to talk to God?

“Then why do you say the Catholic Church created the Bible.”

Let’s take this one at a time. Many Gospels and psuedo-gospels were written AFTER the Church began with “And he said to them, Go out all over the world and preach the gospel to the whole of creation; 16 he who believes and is baptized will be saved; he who refuses belief will be condemned...”, it was the Apostles and their successors who wrote and codified the Bible over the first three centuries.

Unless you believe there was NO church? If you agree that Our Lord founded a Church, then it follows that it was that Church that codified His Word, no?
