All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness." -- 2 Timothy 3:16

Since the New Testament did not exist at the time St. Paul wrote his epistle to St. Timothy, this verse obviously does not refer to the writings we call the New Testament. The word "Scripture" here refers to the Hebrew Scripture, aka the Old Testament.

We know that the New Testament is divinely inspired because the Catholic Church infallibly decreed it so.

Who in the Catholic Church decreed it to be divinely inspired and when?
