A Catholic believes The Bible as the word of God. If you don't you're not a Catholic in the churchs eyes. You're a mickey mouse Catholic. Something else entirely. That is a fact. It's like me deciding to refer to myself as an African American sailor. I'm not black and I don't own a boat.

Jesus was a Jew. He studied and believed in the Torah. Why would you not believe what your own living God and personal saviour believes in?

You don't find that a bit quaint? I suppose Jesus, much like you, decided the bits he didn't fancy were "just stories" as well?
