“It is like saying “Shakespeare’s understanding of ‘To be or not to be’ is consistent with Shakespear’s interpretation of Hamlet”. Gee, thanks.”
How about,
“What you thought you heard me say is not what I thought I said. I know you think you understand what you thought you heard me say but did you know that what you heard is not what I really meant because if you heard me say what I really thought, you wouldn’t have thought you’d heard me say that”
You said that Catholic interpretation of the scripture is consistent with the Catholic mariology and hagiology, yes or no?
My only further comment was that there is no such thing as Catholic “interpretation” of the scripture anymore than there is such a thing as Shakespeare’s interpretation of the Hamlet. However, I agree with the general sense of you admission and appreciate it.
(What scares me about that quote is I think I understand it.)
