To the Catholic Church the interpretation of the Word of God is not by the Holy Spirit, but by man.
Since the
link you insert is to the Catechism, to be honest, at the least you need to include the paragraphs which precede what you inserted:
81 "Sacred Scripture is the speech of God as it is put down in writing under the breath of the Holy Spirit."[42] "And [Holy] Tradition transmits in its entirety the Word of God which has been entrusted to the apostles by Christ the Lord and the Holy Spirit. It transmits it to the successors of the apostles so that, enlightened by the Spirit of truth, they may faithfully preserve, expound and spread it abroad by their preaching."[43]
82 As a result 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 honoured with equal sentiments of devotion and reverence."[44]
And, what follows what you cite:
86 "Yet this Magisterium is not superior to the Word of God, but is its servant. It teaches only what has been handed on to it. At the divine command and with the help of the Holy Spirit, it listens to this devotedly, guards it with dedication and expounds it faithfully. All that it proposes for belief as being divinely revealed is drawn from this single deposit of faith."[48]
Before you cited the Catechism, you stated that the Catholic Church would not agree that St John 17:18 and St Luke 22:29-30 were partial bases for the source of moral authority. Again I ask, why?

Again I ask, why?If the source of the Churches moral authority is based on the Pope's opinion of the Word of God, and not on the Word itself, I see that as a problem
What if the Pope decided St John 17:18 and St Luke 22:29-30 were no longer part of the Word, he is the final authority?
