To their own demise.
"As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are certain things hard to be understood, which the unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction. You therefore, brethren, knowing these things before, take heed, lest being led aside by the error of the unwise, you fall from your own steadfastness. But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and unto the day of eternity. Amen." 2 Peter 3:16-18
You therefore, brethren, knowing these things before, take heed, lest someone have their popes, cardinals and bishops do your thinking for you with your soul on the line. I say to you no thanks.
