“Now, in the case of Catholics, the Church which Christ founded and is with forever (Matthew 28:20) interprets the Bible, as guided by the Holy Spirit, (Mark 13:11) for the “sheep” (the faithful).”

Constantine founded the Roman Catholic Church. The Church Christ referred to is the body of believers, not a specific organization. Organizations are of men.

“The Church (not individuals) interpret Scripture. In Catholicism, Scripture is there for meditation, prayer and inspiration, not for individual interpretation to formulate doctrine or dogma.”

Ah, but who in the Catholic Church interprets Scripture? Individuals.
