Relevant excerpt from the Nicene Creed

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.

Even still I don't think that most practicing Catholics at any level of the Church take the Bible as 100% literal and relevant, but it is worth mentioning that this idea of the Bible literally being the word of God is directly written into many people's religious experiences.

Of course, you can still claim that the Bible is an interpretation of the words of the prophets, but my point is that there are many people who don't see things that way.

I like how we both contradicted each other here

But that is not at all a universal interpretation of that line. "Has spoken through the prophets" doesn't mean "literally every word of the bible is 100% true and equally important, yo"

like, it just doesn't hold up if you actually study the bible or know anything about the bible's origins, and we all knew that, so there's no reason to pretend
