Yes, it is the inspired word of God written through the filter of man, not written by the hand of God Himself.
Us Catholics believe that the Church is the main pillar of Truth, not the bible. Unlike other Christians, we are not Sola Scriptura. The Church existed before the bible did anyhow.
If it is the inspired word of god, then it is infallible.
You just contradicted yourself.
I think you are drunk and incapable of properly explaining yourself.
Not at all, I italicized the word inspired on purpose to show that it was not actually written by God, merely inspired by Him. It was put into words through the filter of man.... thus having it's limitations and imperfections.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
