7. The official RCC position is the bible never gets anything wrong

Which also happens to be the exact same position as a familiar (former?) Catholic.

Kind of ironic because the bible includes a number of contradictions. Every time the bible is busted the answer is well that's not really supposed to be taken literally. If you ask how they know what's supposed to be taken literally and what isn't they don't have anything remotely resembling an answer.

With metaphor, anything is possible. Jesus said that, metaphorically of course.
