Does the Roman Catholic Church teach bible innerancy? I was going to add more to this question, but I suppose it would twist my question a bit.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The Catholic Church formulated the doctrine of inerrancy long before the Reformation.

thank you. But does that still hold true?
(I am not asking because I disagree, I just wanted to know)
seems like so many protestants have a different "view" of what Catholics really believe in regards to this

The teachings of the Church develop over time, as she comes to a greater understanding of what Jesus taught, but they do not change.
If something was true before, it's still true now.

And this is key.
But Catholics in general don't see the Bible as a textbook for all things of the world. I didn't use it in my biology classes, and I didn't learn math from it.

Ok, to be fair, I never learned math at all.

Pope Leo XIII (1893): His encyclical letter "Providentissimus Deus" said in part:
"For all the books which the Church receives as sacred and canonical are written wholly and entirely, with all their parts, at the dictation of the Holy Spirit; and so far is it from being possible that any error can coexist with inspiration, that inspiration not only is essentially incompatible with error, but excludes and rejects it as absolutely and necessarily as it is impossible that God Himself, the supreme Truth, can utter that which is not true. This is the ancient and unchanging faith of the Church..."

from The Catechism of the Catholic Church
109 In Sacred Scripture, God speaks to man in a human way. To interpret Scripture correctly, the reader must be attentive to what the human authors truly wanted to affirm and to what God wanted to reveal to us by their words.
110 In order to discover the sacred authors' intention, the reader must take into account the conditions of their time and culture, the literary genres in use at that time, and the modes of feeling, speaking, and narrating then current. "For the fact is that truth is differently presented and expressed in the various types of historical writing, in prophetical and poetical texts, and in other forms of literary expression."
