If we acknowledge the catholic church has been corrupted and it seems for centuries.....how are you so sure the Bible itself hasn’t been corrupted as well? Who are these monks that copied the Bible through the ages? How hard would it be to change a few lines here and there every edition? Just thinking out loud. The Bible and the church has been used by elites to control peasants forever. I believe there is God and most of the things the Bible teaches is truth but there is a lot of room for corruption.
I am not Catholic, nor have I said anything about the Catholic Church.
The manuscriptural evidence, including the Dead Sea Scrolls, puts to bed your question. There was no doctrine changing corruption between what we have today and ancient manuscripts. We have tens of thousands of manuscripts supporting the Bible.
The Truth and authority of the Bible, especially today, stands in stark contrast to postmodern thought.
I’ve said this all my adult life. Back before I was a believer. Between my forced teen years of church and adult years of not going, I’d argue with my mom about this. She would get so angry because I said, “men put in it what they want you to know”I was young and very arrogant. Look at the origin of the King James Bible! If King James 8th would have had a boy with Catherine of Aragon (Spain) things might have been very different. Those that wanted England Protestant were not very good men. There’s several documentaries about books left out of the Bible. Now that I’m older and have faith I believe God was in control of the Bible writings. Especially the prophetic scripture. There’s to much that’s relatable to current events. (I don’t believe prophecy was for one time period.) Much of prophecy relates as much to events in the past as the current. I think because human nature has always been the same, Good vs Evil. We know more about the evil now because of technology.
