It’s becoming clear that Catholics don’t have any final word authoritative teaching on their church doctrine.

We have the sure unchanging Word of God.

And while there may be differences in interpretation of some verses, there are also differences of interpretation of the CCC, and Trent, and VI and VII. So they send us..... SOMEWHERE..... for *official church teaching* on the subject and they can’t even agree on what that is. They’re shooting at a moving target.

There’s no advantage of having a governing body statement of faith to point to because EVERY. SINGLE. THING. on this planet that we read, we MUST interpret as to its meaning. NO ONE is exempt from that.

So who is going to interpret the interpretation? And is the interpretation of the interpretation infallible? Where is the infallible interpretation of the interpretation?

And it’s turtles all the way down.

Took a while to see that but I finally did, several years ago.

**So who is going to interpret the interpretation?**

I have said that dozens of times.
Who is right? Francis? The local priest? The FRoman Catholic who thinks they are more Catholic than the Pope??

Like nailing jello to a wall.
