actual Christians
What's an actual Christian? LOL!
What would Catholics know about interpretation when the RCC says their sheep need to leave interpretation to them. And will spoon feed them with 'their' interpretation.
And we don't expect Catholics to understand God's Word either for it is spiritually discerned. So calling Christians interpretation bizarre is calling the Holy Spirit bizarre - Are you sure you want to go there?
IOW, saying man made teachings are bizarre would be fine for you to do.

What would Catholics know about interpretation when the RCC says their sheep need to leave interpretation to them. And will spoon feed them with 'their' interpretation. Catholics couldn't be expected to know how to interpret Scripture for two reasons.
One is that they've never been taught how to interpret Scripture. As you correctly said, it's interpreted for them and spoon fed them.
The other reason is lack of practice doing so. You can't practice what you weren't taught.
A Catholic telling a Protestant how to interpret Scripture or passing judgment on a Protestant's interpretation of Scripture, would be like me telling Michael Phelps how to swim.

"And we don't expect Catholics to understand God's Word either for it is spiritually discerned." A wise man once said; "don't assume the voices in your head are the Holy Spirit".
