No.
As Fr Brian Harrison, O.S., clarifies:
‘In short, what is essentially guaranteed to be true by virtue of divine inspiration, according to the sentence of Dei Verbum, 11, we are considering, is not the isolated propositions taken in their ‘surface’ meaning and without regard to their historical and literary context, but rather (as the next article of Dei Verbum puts it) “that meaning which the sacred writers really intended, and which God, by their words, wanted to make known.” 55 The discernment of that divine and human meaning is what the Church understands by a proper ‘literal’ interpretation of the text - which is not to be confused with a ‘literalist’ interpretation.’

The foundation of faith is Christ’s teaching through His Catholic Church and no other. Why? Because He founded His Catholic Church on St Peter as His Supreme Vicar with the other Apostles – mandating of the teaching of his Church that: “He that hears you hears Me” (Lk 10:16).
Therefore Ecumenical Council Vatican II affirmed in *Dei Verbum *(Dogmatic Constitution of Divine Revelation) 10, that:
“It is clear, therefore, that sacred tradition, Sacred Scripture and the teaching authority of the Church, in accord with God’s most wise design, are so linked and joined together that one cannot stand without the others, and that all together and each in its own way under the action of the one Holy Spirit contribute effectively to the salvation of souls.”
The teaching authority of the Church is the Magisterium.
Ecumenical Councils whose teaching is approved by the Pope (or his representative) can teach faith and morals, and the Creeds are part of our faith.
Any questions?
