Some people pray the scriptural rosary, and the passages are from the Bible.
There are mixed opinions among Catholic theologians and exegetes regarding what Catholics believe about the account of Creation in Genesis and Noah's flood. However, Catholics view the Bible as the Word of God.
AnswerCatholics believe that Scripture contains the written Law of God. However the Church hierarchy believe that the Law as it is written in Scripture needs to be "interpreted" for the people and therefore they believe that tradition, where the Church interprets the Law, supercedes Scripture. However this notion is cotradicted in the New Covenant (see New Covenant in Scripture) and in various passages of Scripture such as "I thank thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to babes; yea, Father, for such was thy gracious will. All things have been delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and any one to whom the Son chooses to reveal him."It is very important to note that Scripture does contain the written Law of God and like any law it needs to be read with extreme care so that the law is promoted and obeyed. If we read Scripture carefully we see that the law is stated clearly and unambiguously. It should also be noted that any "law" that is not in Scripture is not part of Christianity.
AnswerUntil the Vatican II Council of the 1960s, Catholics were discouraged from reading the Bible as the hierarchy wanted it for themselves in order to present it to the faithful as they saw fit.
