From the introduction of the 1967 Papal Edition of the Confraternity bible: “Translations of the bible are absolutely without error only in so far as they accurately express the ideas as written by the inspired writer in the original language.”
Thus, there are bibles that contain error, as well as interpretations that contain error. The Lord gave someone, some thing, somewhere, the authority to decide, for all time, what the correct interpretation is. A hint may be found in Matthew 18 and Acts 15.

Faith:
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
Reason:
Merrian-Webster
1
a : a statement offered in explanation or justification
b : a rational ground or motive
c : a sufficient ground of explanation or of logical defense; especially : something (as a principle or law) that supports a conclusion or explains a fact <the reasons behind her client’s action>
d : the thing that makes some fact intelligible : cause <the real reason why he wanted me to stay — Graham Greene>
2
a (1) : the power of comprehending, inferring, or thinking especially in orderly rational ways : intelligence (2) : proper exercise of the mind (3) : sanity
b : the sum of the intellectual powers
3
archaic : treatment that affords satisfaction
It seems that Faith without Reason leads to credulity.
