Because someone wrote it in there?
Cherry picking would be saying the bible is written by the hand of God and completely infallible, and then turning around and saying some things on there are not 100% accurately representing God.
We do not claim or believe that the bible is either written by God Himself, or infallible doctrine. The Church existed before the bible did.
If you want to accurately criticize Church teaching, you look at the Catechism or other infallible documents. You don't look at the bible.
So basically, anything goes in your religion. The bible being fallible means little to nothing.
