[daniel1212]

tually it's the Catholics who "can believe anything they feel like believing, with everyone right about scripture. Just ask them. No authority to turn to, no nothing." Take a look at Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry, the Kennedy clan, etc. These people are pro-murder (abortion), pro divorce, pro fornication sans marriage, all very in view of the public eye and yet the Catholic church does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to discipline them.

And which manifests what Rome really believes.

Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. (James 2:18)

And Catholics are far more liberal than those who most strongly hold to the supremacy of Scripture as literally being the word of God.

And Catholics are far more liberal than those who most strongly hold to the supremacy of Scripture as literally being the word of God.

That's because Catholics are taught the Catechism (man's word) rather than the Bible (God's Word). When your belief system is based on man's word it loses it's strength over God's Word which is Absolute. The Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 82, reads:

“. . . the Church, to whom the transmission and interpretation of Revelation is entrusted, does not derive her certainty about all revealed truths from the Holy Scriptures alone. Both Scripture and Tradition must be accepted and honored with equal sentiments of devotion and reverence.”
