Catholics say parts of the Bible aren't true.
"Holy Crap!" is right! Catholic Church no longer swears by truth of the Bible. Is that true? The article says this comes from, "The Catholic bishops of England, Wales and Scotland," so I'm not sure this can be said to be Official Church Opinion, but this is still very interesting to read.

Actually, if I recall some of the the RCIA classes correctly, it has long been an accepted article of Catholic doctrine that certains aspects of the Bible are allegorical, rather than literal. If so, this is nothing more than an affirmation of current teaching.
A quick look at an online catechism seems to indicate that Catholic dogma is that the Bible should be read with knowledge of the period in which it was written and with the intent of the human authors in mind. (Cat 101-141, I'll dig up the specifics later, time permitting).
