A literal interpretation, will still be reading the words of men.
The catholic version is still reading the words of men, as is christian, Muslim, and any other religion.
Anyone can say god talked to them, and they may even be correct, I don't know. What I do know is that GOD has never written a book, and likely never will.
The point is, you cannot live by the exact words of god, because no one knows what they are. If someone claims to know, they are selling something(non-literal).
