Personally, I think there are people who are fooling themselves and are trying to fool others by and for their own egos which have become their whole focus. There are people out there who think they know the hearts and the minds of over a billion people. Their hearts have become convinced that they speak for God and if they don't personally believe it or understand it it doesn't come from God.

Maybe I'm underestimating them because they seem to speak as though they have all knowledge and understanding. They seem to be setting themselves up as gods who can judge the actions and beliefs of others. They seem to think that their eisegesis is applicable to everyone. Some, in their conceit, believe that they have more human knowledge than that assembled by the believers of Christ for 2000 years. I don't begrudge them their belief because God is supreme, He will save who He will.

As for me and my house, I will serve the Lord, my God through His body of believers through the Catholic Church. Others have chosen their own way and I trust that God will lead them.

And that is certainly your choice through the exercise of the free will that God grants all men.

As for me, I defer to the Authority of Scripture, and choose to study it directly to learn what God has done for, and requires of me.
