The Bible is a Catholic document. It was Catholics who decided what to put in and what to leave out.

However, unlike “Bible-Only” Protestants, Catholics share in the fullness of our faith via Scripture, Tradition and our obedience to the the successor to St. Peter, the Pope.

It's not a document, it's a collection of writings. Too bad these men decided what scripture we could have and not God.

Tradition and our obedience to the the successor to St. Peter, the Pope.

Even Catholic scholars call this link dubious at best. If Linus had truly been the successor of Peter, he would have been an Apostle as Peter was. He would have had to have been equal to Peter in authority. When Peter died, John and Paul were still alive and God went to them and spoke to them. He never spoke to this guy Linus.

You have no case.

Eyes like the eyes of a man and a mouth speaking great things Dan 7:8 And he shall speak great words against The Most High, and shall wear out the saints of The Most High, and think to change times and laws. Daniel 7:25
You (and your church) boast too much. Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard them. Ez 35:13
If God can use the ass of Balaam to do His Will, then He can surely the Catholic Church also to do His Will but no glory goes to the vessel. The glory belongs to God alone. The Scripture is a message from God to us. Not the Catholics to us.
