  1. By the way, The New Testament was NOT written in Aramaic. The Old Testament however was originally a collection of letters written in Hebrew (which was a dialect of Aramaic). It was translated by 70 Hebrew Scholars into the language of the day (GREEK) as a commission of the Pharoah Philadelphis Ptolomy for his great Library in Alexandria. This was called the Septuagint. The New Testament was first written in common Greek which was the most wide spread language of the Roman territories. Later translated into the common (vulgar) Latin called the Vulgate by ST Jerome, who was one of the great early (Catholic) Church fathers.
  2. How come non-Catholics know so much about the Catholic Church? The word Catholic is a Greek word that means Universal. The early Church fathers taught in Greek because Alexander had conquered their territories and Greek became the the language of the people. As most Catholics know, there are many references to the early universal(catholic)Church in the writings and teachings of the disciples. Non-Catholics don't usually bother reading the teachings of the early Church Fathers so they wouldn't have this knowledge, unless they devote themselves to studying the institution of the Church that Christ established. The writers of the Bible were indeed Christians (followers of Christ and His universal(CATHOLIC) Church. For the first sixteen hundred years after His death; all Christians were part of the Catholic(universal) Church. Even a Jew was a Christian if he was a follower of Christ. Martin Luther committed spiritual suicide by leaving the Universal Christian Catholic Church during the protestant reformation. All other religions are based on his false teachings. Christ established Only ONE UNIVERSAL (CATHOLIC) APOSTOLIC Church. It all took place 2000 years ago, not in the 16th century. Yes, The Bible was indeed written by Catholic men. If you were really interested in the true interpretation of the Bible, (which I strongly doubt)Then you would go to the source of all truth and read the writings of the early Church fathers, St Ignatius, St Jerome etc. These are the teachings of the Catholic Church. The true Bible reveals half the truth. The rest of the truth is revealed in Catholic tradition which is the writing and teachings of the early Church Fathers.
