I’m sure you accept, then, when any idiot Catholic heretic does something stupid that contradicts the infallible doctrine of the Catholic church that he is not representing Catholicism? Any idiot can know that he is not, since the Catholic Church actually declares definitively its interpretation of scripture.
The United Church of Christ is the second largest American denomination in the Calvinist branch of “Reformed” Christianity, and they just banished the phrase, “God the Father.” If they can “interpret” away the clear meaning of scripture, you expect that they’ll treat the Westminster Confession of Faith better? Sure you aren’t suggesting that Calvinists place the Westminster Confession above the bible, so that they could toss out the bible, but somehow must retain the Westminster Confession?
The Westminster Confession of Faith is predicated on the Bible, unlike the RCC catechism which just makes things up.
The UCC may still call itself reformed, but it’s not by any stretch of the imagination.
And I don’t care what “any idiot Catholic heretic” says about the “doctrine of the (Roman) Catholic church” because since so much of it is not soundly based on God’s word, most of it is junk anyway.

I had to stop reading right there - I was laughing too hard.
"For as soon as God's Word becomes known through you, the devil will afflict you will make a real doctor of you, and will teach you by his temptations to seek and to love God's Word. For I myself....owe my papists many thanks for so beating, pressing, and frightening me through the devil's raging that they have turned me into a fairly good theologian, driving me to a goal I should never have reached."
