When did Catholics ever claim the Bible was “infallible”? The Bible is a collection of books.If the Roman Catholic church gave the world the Bible, being infallible, then why did Rome reject or question the inspiration of James and Hebrews , then later accept it? Conversely, Rome accepted as scripture books that were later rejected. If the Catholic church really is illuminated by the Holy Spirit so that men can trust her as "God's organization", why was she so wrong about something so simple? Should not the "Holy See" have known?
The question of certain books, like Hebrews, was due to not knowing for sure who the author was. Although the text itself contained no errors or contradictions to the rest of the Bible, the question of authorship was the only thing holding it up. The church wanted to be extra careful about adding such books.
If you do not believe that the early RCC was inspired by the Holy Spirit, then what version of the Bible do you hold to be “infallible”?
Take it from Martin Luther himself:
“We concede—as we must—that so much of what they [the Catholic Church] say is true: that the papacy has God’s word and the office of the apostles, and that we have received holy scriptures, baptism, the sacrament, and the pulpit from them. What would we know of these if it were not for them?”
