Nope, I'm just a dumb country boy who has the ability to read the Bible and do my best to obey it. That, of course, makes me far inferior to you since you have the Pope to read it for you and tell you what it means.

Well, your 5th, 6th and 7th words are true, but the rest of your statement is a false inference. Did any Catholic say that the Pope reads to us and tells us what the Bible means? Nope. Strike one. Do Catholics read the Bible as much as any of the "bible Christians"? Yes. Strike two. Is it the Pope who teachs us or is it The Church? The Church. Strike Three....
