Why do you think the catholic church was so committed to defending the literal meaning of the bible passages.

They did not want anybody to contradict what they said and believed in, so if you were a different religion then they would get rid of you. It was either their way or no way. They knew that the Bible was right so they tried everything that they could do that nobody know the truth.

The Church did not know any other way then following the Bible, causing an unwanted and unfamiliar change to their environment
