the Catholic Church doesn't "interpret" the Bible. We explain it.

Actually, that card has been played before, on another thread just recently. If it wasn't so sincerely delivered, I would laugh it off as intentional satire. I hate to think how that would have turned out if I had ever tried it in court. "Your honor, I wasn't interpreting the law, I was just explaining it." Argh! No points for that nonsense.

Peace,

I chuckled when I read that. We have a close friend who at 73 is still a sitting judge. I can just imagine the look on his face had a lawyer stood before him and used that line.
