They didn't write it though. They just had a hand in which books comprise the official canon. I read what I want. I've read the entire Bible and Apocrypha, the "lost" books, the pseudepigrapha, the church fathers, and more. I've also read some of the books of other religions.
Regardless of how the compilation happened, the content is truthful, provably so in most places.
My point, that you completely glossed over (go figure) was that Catholic teachings do not conflict with the Bible. They compiled the Bible. If anyone understands the Bible teachings, its the Catholic religion, who loved the books of the Bible so much they spent time and resources to compile them and then sent missionaries into the world to teach people what was in the Bible.
"as Catholic teachings conflict with the plain text of the Bible."
I thought I completely and fully explained that the Bible says that Jesus' Resurrection would be three days and three nights, no more or less, after the crucifixion. The Catholic Church is saying it was a day and a half, which is what you would get by starting at "Good Friday" evening and counting the time until "Easter Sunday" morning. The Catholic Church is guilty of a gigantic lie that they've kept going for almost 2000 years.
So your "Simply untrue" is wrong.
Also, "compiling" is not the same as "writing." If the Catholics had actually written the New Testament, they certainly wouldn't be writing things they didn't believe. Or perhaps the lot of them were incredibly retarded.
