If I saw no need of an “infallible magisterium” or “pope” I would be less critical of the RCC. The fact that the magisterium meets and the Pope issues “updates” tells me there are conflicting beliefs in the RCC, where we are told that there is no chaos. The RCC is most assuredly “self-interpreting” the Bible. The only difference is they declare men “infallible” and accept whatever these deceivers decide the Bible says. That's called controlled chaos where I come from. It's called “the faithful” where the RCC comes from.

Who told you there was no chaos in the Catholic Church?

We certainly have had our share of conflict and people who have challenged beliefs.

What we do have is a way to determine, objectively for anyone who wants to know, what is the truth of our teachings. It’s called the Catechism. I mentioned it earlier.
