Church declared other writings out of bounds (the heretical “Gospel of Thomas,” for example).
But Scripture cannot stand alone. It was the authority of the Church that bound the manuscripts of Scriptures together into one fine volume. Because the Bible was born from the Church, the Church continues to be God’s authorized guardian. So the Catholic Church deals in footnotes as well. When interpreting Scripture, the believing Catholic asks the question, “What has the Church always taught on this matter?” In other words, a thoughtful believing Catholic is willing to check the footnotes of Church teaching.
An extensive exposition of Catholic teaching can be found in the updated “Catechism of the Catholic Church.” As a contemporary document, and in view of the crisis of authority in the world as well as in the Church, is this Catechism reliable? Who are we to believe? What do the footnotes reveal?
