I am not here to discuss the Protestant hermeneutics. The Catholic hermeneutics is simple: read what’s written. Apply allegories if the inspired author put them in there; read the context as well, but read, above all else, read what’s written.

If the Protestants do something different, well, that is a good reason not to be Protestant.

What! I just quoted you as saying:

I am making exactly the kind of argument form scripture that Protestants say should be made

So which is it? Are you making arguments from scripture as Protestants do or don't you care about Protestant hermeneutics? Let's try to make some sense here.

What I'm hearing is the Protestant hermeneutic will prove Romanism wrong so it's better to ignore it because I don't want Romanism to be wrong. The same faulty hermeneutic is applied to Protestants as is applied to the Bible.
