What is it you think I'm NOT getting? That the Catholic Church doesn't use Scripture to prove the doctrines it espouses?

Are you saying you don't understand the difference between "using Scripture" and basing the Church's authority from it?

tsk, tsk, tsk. Sounds like a bit of a shell game being played there.

There's a "game" alright being played. The classic "Bait and Switch" one.

Come to the Roman Catholic Church if you want to be saved.

Okay, I'm here, am I saved?

Uh, no, nobody can KNOW they are saved...
