We want to discern the mind of the Church. The scripture helps. To think that we can get together and figure out what we think the Holy Scripture means is a uniquely Protestant

Last time I looked didn't our Catholic friends have some set doctrinal ideas based upon Magisteriums and ecumenical councils? Did the Council of Trent simply twittle their hands? (Although, perhaps it would have been better if they had.)

I thought that perhaps my misunderstandings resided in the word "Church" but that doesn't fit. I still can not make out what your comment is saying.

As a Catholic I do not decide what the scripture means. I ask my Church and the Chruch has the answer. To think that reading and understanding the Scripture is an exercise profitable to an individual outside of the environment of the Church is a uniquely Protestant conceit. We don't do that, as a rule.
