I said that Catholics do not believe in a word for word literal interpretation of the bible. That is not the same thing as not believing in the bible.
Speaking about forgiveness
Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
So 7 x 70 = 490. After that we don't need to forgive? That is what a literal interpretation would mean. I think the point is not the actual number but the need to forgive is timeless.
