That is such a hypocritical statement.
EVERYONE uses their own personal interpretation of Scripture.
Those Catholics who claim they don't but follow the church teachings on Scripture are still making their own decision of what interpretation of Scripture to follow. So it is still essentially their own personal interpretation because it is still their own personal decision of what is correct or not.
No, we are recognizing that our interpretation can be wrong.
I’m sure many Catholics have had times in their lives when they would like to believe that a Scripture means something different than what the Church teaches. However, if we accept the authority of the Church given to it by Christ Himself, then we know that we must not follow our own will. It’s not about us deciding *we* are correct, but that Christ and His Church are correct.
I know we don’t always come across that way, but that is how we should be coming across.

No, it’s not - really. Even if we don’t understand or agree with what the Church teaches - we have to submit to what the Church says. There was an excellent article on this awhile back. Being Catholic is not just about being Catholic, it’s about submission to Christ and His Church.
