As you mention, however (and this is crucial) he (Jerome) submitted to the wisdom and the Apostolic authoirty of the Church

That's the key difference between us and some Protestants... They submit only to themselves.

And Catholics submit to whom ?

Protestants certainly submit to biblical authority.

We submit to Protestant authority and the canonized writings of the Apostles.

The issue is whom we find to be scripturally authoritative ... and we don't find any particular scriptural authority ... in the Catholic Church.

The key difference ... is whom we find to be authoritative.
