Please don't give me this garbage. I just answered your question above. People can go back and read this exchange. Your deflections are disingenuous at best. I'll stand by my posts and you can stand by yours.

Catholics should think hard and long about what is posted here. It is obvious the Church no longer looks upon the scriptures as unique and inspired by God. The evidence of this is simply the unanswered questions as well as the Catholic dictionary that you posted. This is not only a departure from the early church fathers but it is also a departure from the Council of Trent.

The problem my thinly veiled questions about inspired writing poses for the Catholic Church is:

If the scriptures are uniquely inspired by God and without error, then no other writings are inspired and without error.

This implies that all Catholic Canons and councils may be in error to varying degrees. But there is that problem with the doctrine of infallibility. That is why most Catholics cannot or will not admit the scriptures holds no more authority than any other Church writings, just as the Catholic definition states. The Catholic Church has negated centuries of beliefs to secure their position.

Pretending this does not exist is like pretending Democrats won't raise your taxes.

Nope. No answer. This is the heart of it. What VERSION of the Bible do you consider INSPIRED? Why are you afraid to answer the question?

Bzzzzt.

The Catholic Church does not say that.
