The Roman Catholic Church Asserts:
That the Bible cannot interpret itself.
Catholic Church "...historical criticism has long since proved that the Bible does indeed need interpretation that it cannot give itself, and that it is not alone an adequate guide in every department of human life and thought."  Reference 7
Scriptures All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. ~II Timothy 3:16-17

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. ~II Timothy 2:15
Comments Who needs historical criticism when we have the infallible Word of God?  Any guide that "thoroughly furnishes" the Christian is alone completely adequate.
