According to the Bible we (meaning christians) can talk directly to God. We don't need an intermediary like the pope. The pope is just a man; the Bible states that no man is holy, so the pope has no more religious athority than anyone else does.
In general cathaloism is a bit contradictory to the bible. For example, the catholic bible has several parts added on to it (such as a couple extra chapters in the book of daniel), despite the fact that the bible states it should not be added apon or have parts removed.

Actually God made the Bible. He basically told people like moses what to write. This also happened a long time before Christs death (the birth of Christianity) so the christian church couldn't have made the bible anyway becuase they didn't exist.
