The Bible is the “selected” words of God that made itself into print. The Church “interpreted” what was true and untrue from hundreds and hundreds of manuscripts and papyrus fragments.

This interpretation was inspired by Divine guidance did not vanish after the first 1300 years with heretical Lutheranism that opened the door to the Billy Grahams; Joel Osteens; Jeremiah Wrights, and everybody’s grandmother and neighborhood self-appointed pastor to crack open the Bible, overlook the oral tradition as mentioned by John the Evangelist; and instead offer their own “individual” reading of literal text as being authentic interpretation.

This is the stuff that is fed to low-information Protestants, while leading Protestant theologians, scholars, teachers, and preachers have after years and a lifetime of study discarded this rot, and have converted to Catholicism.

When Rome publishes a verse by verse interpretation of the texts then you might have a point. I mean, y'all have only been around since the late 300s. There has been plenty of time to have accomplished this.

Are you prepared to say every message by every priest every service has been approved by Rome and is identical?

Are you prepared to say every Catholic Bible study (if y'all have those) has been approved by Rome?

Didn't think so. We see the differences in Catholic beliefs on these very threads.
