"Every memory a person forms undergoes distortions, and the more time that passes, the more distortions occur. And remember, Jesus died roughly around 33 AD. St. Paul’s letters, the earliest written accounts of Jesus, did not appear until around 51 AD. That’s 18 years of distortion, and though the Catholic Church teaches that God inspires scripture, we also teach that He works within the laws of nature. And the laws of nature dictate that memory distorts over time. So God, working through the laws of nature, allows for distortion to occur. And the Church believes that these distortions are deliberate; the Holy Spirit guides the Gospel writers not as strict historians but as theologians who want to inform us about God’s nature and laws."
