I find this to be nearly universal. Protestants think that Rome doesn't follow the Gospel because Rome doesn't follow THEIR OWN PERSONAL INTERPRETATION.

I find this to be nearly universal, that Roman Catholics regurgitate indoctrinated Roman Catholic revisions, inventions, forgeries, fraudulent documents and un-Biblical, anti-Christian dogmas that pervert the Gospel of Christ. And do so just as predicted by the Roman Catholic historian, Johann Joseph Ignaz von Dollinger:

"In the future every Roman Catholic when asked why he believes this or that can and may give but the one answer: I believe or reject it because the infallible Pope has bidden it to be believed or rejected"---Declarations and Letters, pgs. 101,101.

But that tired old Roman Catholic nonsense of "personal interpretation" itself is contrary to Scripture and the early Church, particularly in that the Gospel is so clear, so simply stated that no "special interpreter" is needed. The need of a "special interpreter" is what the Gnostics purport.

Never mind that Rome can point to Scriptures and any unbiased person can see that the Bible can be interpreted a multidude of ways.

Strange, especially since Rome came to interpret Matthew 16 in contradiction to the consensus of the church fathers, as well as a great many other passages that Rome reads it's invented doctrines into where they do not exist, such as the "two swords" doctrine of the unam sanctum.

I am not going to reply to your posts until you decide to read "Against Heresies". Until then, you are an angry Protestant looking for an ax to grind. I will have no part in your venomous spewings.
