When I went to Notre Dame, I learned that even the Catholics don't necessarily believe the Bible to be 100% true. I was repeatedly told that "The Bible is not meant for [scientific/historical] truth. It's meant for religious truth." Hell, even the most religiously jerkasstic teachers didn't believe in the traditional idea of Hell.

For instance, from what I understand, this is an approximation of the current Catholic view of Hell:
