I don’t condemn personal interpretation, I condemn discounting information and conclusions simply because they agree with the Catholic church, and that is what I see here continuously.
I believe in the Truth, and I believe honest, prayerful interpretations will bring you to that every time.

I'm not disagreeing because this is the Roman Catholic position; I disagree because it strains credulity.
I believe in the Truth, and I believe honest, prayerful interpretations will bring you to that every time.
To clarify, are you saying that if I disagree with you, or the Roman Catholic church, that I don't know the Truth, nor have engaged in honest, prayerful interpretation?
I don't discount information and conclusion because they agree with Catholicism. I discount them because they do NOT agree with Scripture. If it so happens that Catholicism has that same wrong view, they by default, I also disagree with the Catholic church.
And that is only because it is at odds with a clear, plain reading of Scripture, one that has not been *interpreted* to make it say something it doesn't.
