The JW's say this...
The Moonies say this...
The Mormons say this...
Even Scripture says this -
Acts Chapter 8
26. Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, "Go south to the road--the desert road--that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza."
27. So he started out, and on his way he met an Ethiopian eunuch, an important official in charge of all the treasury of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians. This man had gone to Jerusalem to worship,
28. and on his way home was sitting in his chariot reading the book of Isaiah the prophet.
29. The Spirit told Philip, "Go to that chariot and stay near it."
30. Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. "Do you understand what you are reading?" Philip asked.
31. "How can I," he said, "unless someone explains it to me?" So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.
32. The eunuch was reading this passage of Scripture: "He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before the shearer is silent, so he did not open his mouth.
33. In his humiliation he was deprived of justice. Who can speak of his descendants? For his life was taken from the earth."
34. The eunuch asked Philip, "Tell me, please, who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?"
The DIFFERENCE is that SCRIPTURE was looked into; NOT 'words of the Fathers'
35. Then Philip began with that very passage of Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus.
(BEGAN - I'll bet he used others as well!)
If Scripture is so perspicuous, then why are there 30,000 denominations?

Your assuming that I and other Catholics don't read Scripture, poor, vain assumption on your part.
