=== Present-day Catholic teaching ===
For the very first time, {{citation needed|date=May 2023}} a doctrinal document of the highest authority contained a phrase which could be interpreted as teaching limited biblical inerrancy. {{
Some theologians and apologists defend the view that total inerrancy is still the Church's teaching. For instance, articles defending this position can be found in the 2011 collection ''For the Sake of Our Salvation''.<ref>{{cite book|editor=Scott Hahn|title=For the sake of our Salvation|series=Letter and Spirit Journal #6|publisher=Emmaus Road|year=2011}}</ref>
Line 295:
On a more popular level, at ''Catholic Answers'', a website and podcast with a strongly apologetical bent that calls itself "the world's largest database of answers about the beliefs and practices of the Catholic faith", there is no lack of articles defending the same position.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.catholic.com/magazine/print-edition/is-scripture-inerrant|title=Is Scripture Inerrant?}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.catholic.com/magazine/print-edition/the-accuracy-of-scripture|title = The Accuracy of Scripture}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.catholic.com/magazine/print-edition/is-everything-in-the-bible-true|title = Is Everything in the Bible True?}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.catholic.com/qa/is-the-bibles-inerrancy-limited-to-matters-pertaining-to-salvation|title = Is the Bible's inerrancy limited to matters pertaining to salvation?}}</ref>
However, the majority view {{Citation needed|date=May 2023}} among today's Catholic theologians and Scripture scholars is that {{lang|la|Dei verbum}} has indeed replaced total inerrancy with inerrancy limited to matters of salvation.
For instance, [[Raymond E. Brown]], "perhaps the foremost English-speaking Catholic Biblical scholar",<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/obituary-the-rev-raymond-e-brown-1172611.html|title=Obituary: The Rev Raymond e.
