maybe the catholics will start to say, the Bible is only 80% true.
or maybe they will start to say that there are many gods in this world. since even THE WORD OF GOD they have nullified

Not true. Check your facts first before rendering judgement.
If you go to Mass, the Catholics have the Liturgy of the Word (Gospel) as the 1st part.
Catholic Doctrine use the Bible as the basis for its teachings.
Catholics use the Bible in their evangelization.

THE hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church has published a teaching document instructing the faithful that some parts of the Bible are not actually true Some parts of the Bible are not actually true? What the hell is that supposed to mean? How can there be 'some' parts? It's either whole truth or nothing at all.

Yes, this is badly reported because the authors don´t distinguish between "untrue" and "unfactual".
Some parts of the bible, like Genesis are very valuable works of art, inspired by God. They are ture, but not always historicaly and chronologically accurate, since they are artistic.
It is important to distinguish the different styles of writing within the bible, in order to interpret it as intendended.

If you read your Bible and put that together with historical facts you will find that the Holy Roman Empire, the Vatacin is the Anti-Christ. So then why would this article suprise you?
Why would they declare the Bible as truth if it points to them as the Anti-Christ.
The devil is working very hard through them.

When did the Catholic Church start swearing?!?! Anywho, you should try reading some of the doctrine that came out of Vatican II. Now that stuff's mind-blowing.

This is badly reported (as usual) but nothing new.
There is a fundamental difference between truth and fact.
It is true that God exists but I cannot prove it.
It is a fact that President Bush said he invaded Iraq because of weapons of mass destruction but it is not true.
Catholics believe that the Bible teaches truth about God but it is not historically factual at all times.
The Bible's primary purpose is to teach us the truth about God and His (or Her) love for us, not to teach facts about history or science.
With love in Christ.

Flee From “Babylon the Great”
Consider how the Bible book of Revelation describes false religion. It is portrayed as a drunken prostitute who has power over many kingdoms and their peoples. This figurative woman commits fornication with many kings and is drunk with the blood of God’s true worshippers. (Revelation 17:1, 2, 6, 18) She has a name written on her forehead that matches her filthy and repulsive conduct. The name is “Babylon the Great, the mother of the harlots and of the disgusting things of the earth.”—Revelation 17:5.
The Scriptural description of Babylon the Great fits the world’s collective body of false religion. Although the thousands of religions are not formally united as one world organization, they are inseparably joined in purpose and deed. As depicted by the immoral woman in Revelation, false religion has tremendous influence over governments. Resembling a woman not faithful to her marriage vows, false religion has prostituted herself by forming alliances with one political power after another. “Adulteresses, do you not know that the friendship with the world is enmity with God?” wrote the disciple James. “Whoever, therefore, wants to be a friend of the world is constituting himself an enemy of God.”—James 4:4.
This mixing of false religion with the governments has resulted in much human suffering. African political analyst Dr. Xolela Mangcu observed that “world history is littered with examples of mass killings caused by linking religion and politics.” One newspaper recently stated: “The bloodiest and most dangerous disputes today . . . are wrapped in religion.” The lives of millions have been snuffed out in religiously supported conflicts. Babylon the Great has even persecuted and killed God’s true servants, becoming drunk with their blood, as it were.—Revelation 18:24.
That Jehovah hates false worship is clearly seen from what happens to Babylon the Great. Revelation 17:16 states: “The ten horns that you saw, and the wild beast, these will hate the harlot and will make her devastated and naked, and will eat up her fleshy parts and will completely burn her with fire.” First, a huge beast mauls her to death and eats up her fleshy parts. Then, whatever remains of her is completely burned. Correspondingly, soon the world governments will take such action against false religion. God will make it happen. (Revelation 17:17) Babylon the Great, the world empire of false religion, is doomed to destruction. “She will never be found again.”—Revelation 18:21.

It wouldn't surprise me. Catholics worship their Pope as a Living Deity (God) since 1871 made him the first and only person the legally claim infallibility (above all human law and above all human beings).
See The Almanac of Evil for more details:
http://one-faith-of-god.org/final_testament/end_of_darkness/evil/evil_0190.htm
Not even Jesus claimed to be infallible!
Christians believe Jesus established the office of Pope, and he gave the Pope unrestricted authority to govern the whole church, and to bind and loose, both on earth and in heaven.
He made his brother (James the Just) his successor. Unfortunately, this small fact is not only omitted from all christian history, but is denied.
The Vatican has known for almost 2000 years that it was Paul of Tarsus, not Jesus who founded christianity.
ttp://one-faith-of-god.org/new_testament/apocrypha/founders_christianity/founders_christianity_0010.htm
Jesus founded the Nazarenes also known as the gnostics.
http://one-faith-of-god.org/new_testament/apocrypha/nazarenes/nazarenes_0010.htm
+++What would Jesus Do?+++
+ The Catholic Church has never been the legitimate body representing Jesus. It is an imposter, a fraud.
+ In spite of the overwhelming evidence of corruption, of morally bankrupt behaviour, of evil, many people continue to defend such action, to the point of attacking those who dare to raise it.
+ Until good people are prepared to take a stand against such evil, it will continue to thrive.
With love in the real Jesus Christ, not Paul.
