Scripture is referenced throughout the catechism.

The catechism is merely the guide to a Catholic understanding of Scripture and Tradition.

It is disingenuous for any protestant to assert that he/she has come to Scriptural understanding alone, without the teaching or guidance of any others;IOW, an explanation of what they are reading. If not, why go to church, why have a minister?

The eunuch says to Phillip when he is asked if he understands what he is reading, “How can I lest someone explain it?”

I heartily agree. Neophites should seek out those trained in Hebrew, Greek, Hermenutics, Church history, those who believe the scripture to be the sole infallible authority, etc.
