Burke: "We don't necessarily think that Moses wrote all five books [of the Pentateuch]." Source: Cardinal Burke - The Old Testament SRS #337. youtu.be/WwZ15Jxx2OM?t=2180 (timestamp embedded) The Pontifical Biblical Commission in 1906, with the solemn ratification of Pope St. Pius X, decreed that Moses' direct authorship of the Pentateuch (nonwithstanding the use of scribes by Moses or minor and inspired later edits such as the very end of Deuteronomy which did not change the substance of the text), is supported by "the cumulative evidence of many passages of both Testaments, the unbroken unanimity of the Jewish people, and furthermore of the constant tradition of the Church, besides the internal indications furnished by the text itself, [etc.]." St. Pius X further defended this decree in Praestantia Scripturae, when he declared: "[N]or can anyone who by word or writing attacks the said decrees avoid the note both of disobedience and of rashness or be therefore without grave fault." These decrees were never revoked.
