That is not a logical deduction that you make. The Catholic Church does not make interpretation based on Scripture alone. Valid scriptural interpretation emanate from other sources as well such as received Sacred Tradition and Revelation. This is a coherent whole of interpretation. This is why we get our theological learning from consulting the Catechism that embodies Scriptural interpretation from these several sources. We don’t interpret Scripture like some commercial contract with annotated legal interpretations on each section and provision.

So, you admit your church hasn’t provided to you any specific interpretation for the verses you quoted?

How exactly can you claim to stand on their authority when you quote them then? How is anyone else supposed to be assured that the manner in which you are using those verses is consistent with the teachings of your church, who you claim has sole authority for interpreting them?
