I think that is what harley meant when he said your church tells you what to think. BTW I do not think many non Catholics would let the magistrum tell them the interpretation for Scripture
The Word is not the Scripture alone. The Word is Christ and the visible Christ today is the Apostolic Church. If I post something and you doubt the meaning, you would ask me, right? You would not ask your pastor, or Harley, or anyone but me what I mean. Likewise, the Holy Scripture is the product of the Church. So, we ask the Church rather than your pastor. To do otherwise is foolish, although I recognize that many Protestants attempt to do so.
