Catholic Bishops admit not all in the Bible is true. |
The Times October 05, 2005
Catholic Church no longer swears by truth of the Bible
By Ruth Gledhill, Religion Correspondent
THE hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church has published a
teaching document instructing the faithful that some parts of the
Bible are not actually true.
The Catholic bishops of England, Wales and Scotland are warning
their five million worshippers, as well as any others drawn to the
study of scripture, that they should not expect “total accuracy”
from the Bible.
“We should not expect to find in Scripture full scientific
accuracy or complete historical precision,” they say in The Gift
of Scripture.
The document is timely, coming as it does amid the rise of the
religious Right, in particular in the US.

Well, the Church is GROWING UP!
They apologized about Matthew, about Galileo,
and are ready to move into the 21st century, unlike
the dumb, infantile Protestant bible worshipers
who try to move us and our schools back to the
DARK AGES.

You wouldn't think it would need to be stated to anyone that some
of the Bible is fictitious, would you?
