Catholics have their interpretation, and Baptists have theirs ... we each think we’re right.

The Catholics would not agree there is a symmetry like that; we would point out that our interpretation is in harmony with the Early Church, hence it is authentic.

I honestly don’t care if they would agree — they would be wrong. Catholic scriputral interpretations, like Baptist interpretations, are fundamentally the interpretations of educated, but fallible, men.

In my study, I’ve seen no reason to believe that your heirarchy speaks for God to any greater degree than does my Pastor.
