Do you think the Church would have a canon that disagrees with the Church?

When you can autocratically define what Scripture means, of fails to contradict, then there can be no problem with conformity to the canon as far you are concerned .

My premise is the Church established by Christ with Him as the head and guided by the Holy Spirit to be the pillar and foundation of truth. You want something more? :)

Well yes, i do. These are questions regarding the reasoning behind the assertion that it is the Roman Catholic church is to be submitted to as infallible. Why do you avoid answer these reasonable questions?

Thanks for your reply.

When you can autocratically define what Scripture means

No, unless by autocratic you mean the teaching of Christ as transmitted to His Apostles. Holy Scripture is integral to the Church. The beliefs are the same, that's partly how the Church chose what to include - they teach the same things.

When some take the same source to mean something contrary, like no real presence in the Eucharist, the Church holds to the truth.

the reasoning behind the assertion that it is the Roman Catholic church is to be submitted to as infallible

Your lack of specificity in this aside, my reasoning is the same: it is the Church established by Christ with Him as the head and guided by the Holy Spirit to be the pillar and foundation of truth.
