I never said your understanding was not consistent with the Roman Catholic interpretation of the scriptures.

Ah, OK. This is important to understand: the Catholic practices and the Scripture are not in contradiction. The Catholic practices and the scriptural interpretations of some religious communities, yours apparently among them, are.

the interpretation is “fantastic”?

The idea that Mary and the saints are robots incapable of cooperation with grace is fantastic, for example, and it ignores the scripture that shows her very much as a God-loving, God-fearing, rational, compassionate person, and not a zombified victim of some spiritual rape. There are many others on other topics.

That’s not what I said. What I said was “I never said your understanding was not consistent with the Roman Catholic interpretation of the scriptures.” Whether there is or is not a contradiction depends on the hermeneutic and the system of theology one is using.
