Catholic AnswerThe New Testament is the fulfillment of the Old Covenant contained in the Old Testament. It was written by members of the Catholic Church during the first hundred and twenty years, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, after Our Blessed Lord ascended into heaven. The New Testament as we have it today was approved by the Council of Rome in the late fourth century, the Council of Trent repeated the Decrees of Rome 1,100 years later. The New Testament, thus, is the Catholic religion's ancient preaching of the Gospel, it is the words of God, in God's own Words. The Church teaches that The Bible is inerrant, and to be venerated as we venerate the Body of Our Blessed Lord. So your question is backward, it should be, "How did the Catholic religion write, approve, and preserve the New Testament for 2,000 years??

Where is the Roman Catholic religion mentioned in the Bible?
.Catholic AnswerThe Roman Catholic religion is not mentioned in the Bible for several reasons. First of all, there officially is no such thing as the "Roman Catholic religion." You are asking about the Catholic Church and it never uses the epithet "Roman." That appelation was first commonly used by the English after the protestant revolt in that country. .Secondly, the Bible (New Testament) was written by the Catholic Church in the first century of its existence, as part of its preaching, it is a reflection of the Sacred Tradition handed down to it by Our Blessed Lord and the Apostles..Thirdly, the Bible wasn't put together as we have it now until the Councils of Carthage in 297 and 419 A.D., the list of the Canon of Scripture was officially promulagated by Pope Damasus I at the Council of Rome in 382, and dogmatically stated - infallibly, by the Council of Trent in the sixteenth century..In other words, the Catholic Church, which is the Catholic religion (referred to as some as the "Roman Catholic religion" actually wrote the New Testament and decided on the Canon of it, thus it is referred to in the New Testament just as "the Church."

Does the Catholic Bible have both Old and New Testaments?
.Catholic AnswerAs the Catholic Church is the one that wrote the New Testament, decided which books would go into it, translated the Old Testament from the Greek Septuagint, and the New from the original documents; and then preserved the entire thing for over 15 centuries, not only does it have both the Old and New Testaments, but without the Catholic Church nobody would have either. It was the Church that preserved and copied all the books of both for the past two thousand years. Before the printing press was invented, without the Catholic monks spending their entire lives making copies of both, they would have been lost centuries ago. The Jews threw out six books of the Old Testament some time in the first century as they supported Catholic teaching, and those, too, would have been lost. .Specifically, there is no "Catholic Bible", there is only the Bible, which the Catholic Church has carefully maintained all these centuries. There is a "protestant bible" which threw out books which didn't agree with Martin Luther's new religion, and there is a Jewish Bible which was only part of the Old Testament. The only complete Bible is maintained in the Catholic Church.
