Catholic Church no longer swears by truth of the Bible - Times Online
I'm going to have to disagree with them on this one, given that they presumably (and heretofore have) accept(ed) the passage saying "All scripture is God-breathed and is suitable for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness." from Timothy. Given that scripture is inspired by God, I can't believe it would have a flaw, nor can I believe that the "secular" parts of the Bible in Gen. 1-11 are legendary or false. A short while ago, the church would have realized that some critical analysis of such passages, as well as a critical look at evolution/creation/design will not reveal any particular scientifically provable deficiencies in scripture. On sheer probabilities, I find the Bible at least a little easier to believe.

This is not new, they NEVER have believed the Bible and have always tried to get rid of it. When they couldn't get rid of it, then they started coming up with varrious ways to "interpret" it to make it seem to say things it did not say, or not say things it did say.
This is because believers for centuries have attributed the prophecies concerning Revelation, the beast and the harlot to refer to the Catholic Church and the Pope. So they have had to come up with ways to make it not seem like that is so. Well maybe they aren't the only ones that fit that discription, but they are surely a close runner up.
If you simply read the Castechism of the Catholic Church, you'll find out how wrong you are. Catholics believe that the Bible is the Word of God. Where do you think the Bible came from? It came from the Catholic Church. It was Luther who tried to remove the books of James and Revelation in his first German translation in the mid 1500s. He later relented and kept them in... Read and understand.
