Yea...at least in the US

All good Catholics, the majority of Protestants, and all Orthodox Jews.

Note -- I say the majority of protestants because Southern Baptists make up 40% of protestants here, and they definately do -- as well as the non-denominationals and church of christs...

Are you saying Catholics accept Mosaic authorship? 'Cause I'd be shocked if that's true. Catholics are traditionally more lax with Scripture than Protestants and would more easily accept non-Mosaic authorship. And it was mostly Protestants who discovered the multiple authors anyway.

Orthodox, aka Torah observant Jews, believe G-d not only gave Moshe the Torah, but also the fully formed appendix known as oral Torah. Brother had a gooood memory.

How is the documentary hypothesis doing?

I actually am attending a Christian college (long story) and my Old Testament professor teaches the Mosaic authorship as a fact every single day. Some of the stuff this guy says in class (and tests us on) are so absurd it is hard to keep a calm demeanor during his lectures.

However, 99.9 % of the kids in his class have been homeschooled for their entire lives, and are so fully indoctrinated they don't even bother to think.

Catechism of the Catholic Church #105
God is the author of Sacred Scripture. "The divinely revealed realities, which are contained and presented in the text of Sacred Scripture, have been written down under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit."

"For Holy Mother Church, relying on the faith of the apostolic age, accepts as sacred and canonical the books of the Old and the New Testaments, whole and entire, with all their parts, on the grounds that, written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, they have God as their author and have been handed on as such to the Church herself."

Note, the churh does recongize that the "scared scripture" is only 1/2 the word, and the other 1/2 is the 1/2 given by the church itself. Bottom line is, if your Catholic, do what your priest tells you, don't think too much, and your ok.
