Gotta run in a few minutes but wanted to bounce this off of you.

Given your (the RCC) position on authority, should you not restrict your comments on theological discussions to either quoting Scripture from the approved RC translation and / or quote a pronouncement by the Magisterium?

Any discussion of these by you, explaining of them or even paraphrasing them would violate your dictum against non-Magisterial interpretation. Would it not?

Or are you in bounds so long as your comments are consistent with Scripture or the teaching of the Magisterium? And how do you know you are in bounds when you comment or explain either Scripture or RCC teaching?

I will grant you a dispensation to answer this post without criticism from me of your right to answer such questions with comments other than quotes. :)

Mine is an honest inquiry of the RCC doctrine of Authority and it's implications for laity.

That is exactly as I have done on this thread. No position I have taken deviates from what has been taught by the Catholic church. The reason I keep repeatedly asking for his authority is because there is no weight in an argument offered from personal interpretation as he keeps doing. There is no one to back up his assertions save himself and that is not good enough.
