What Scriptures did the Catholic Church change in the Bible?

Roman Catholic AnswerYou are operating with a mistaken assumption. The Catholic Church wrote the Bible, the Catholic Church decided which books were canonical (included in the Bible), and the Catholic Church has conserved the Bible through the centuries. The only ones who changed any Scriptures in the Bible are the protestants, who, after fifteen centuries of a Bible preserved by the Catholic Church came along and threw books out of the Bible, and changed the meanings of books they would not throw out.

Why does the Catholic Church claim the right to authentically interpret the Bible?

The Catholic Church was the original author of the New Testament as Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were all members of the early Catholic Church. Interpretation of what is in the Bible is left to the Magisterium of the Church - all the bishops acting in unison with the pope. That way, all Catholics believe the same basic truths. We have seen what happens when each individual is allowed to interpret scripture as they please. From the two original Protestant churches - the Lutheran and Church of England - have sprung over 30,000 separate Protestant denominations, each with its own interpretation of Sacred Scripture and each saying that their interpretation is the correct one. Even within the Church of England different interpretations in different areas of the world are tearing that church apart and many people, priests and bishops included, are returning to the Mother (Catholic) Church looking for stability.
