I have read the Bible for myself, that's why I stay.

That's the inherent aporia in RB's thinking.

RB believes that his personal interpretation, which happens to almost exactly coincide with John Calvin's personal interpretation, of Scripture is correct.

However, you and I also search the Scriptures and we find ourselves much more convinced by the Catholic interpretation than by the Calvinist.

Since RB has already made personal reading of the Scripture his arbiter, he has nothing else to say "But, but, you're wrong because I disagree with you!"

And that is somehow supposed to be convincing.
