[Dr. Eckleburg]

God gave His church the Scriptures in order that they would understand and believe their salvation had been won for them by Christ risen from the cross.

Men are accountable to God according to His holy word, and not to fallible men who wrongly presume they are "another Christ" who not only think they speak for God but blasphemously tell the world they have become God.

God's word.

"Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him." -- Proverbs 30:5

"And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God." -- Luke 4:4

[RnMomof7]

And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God." -- Luke 4:4

"Men are accountable to God according to His holy word, and not to fallible men who wrongly presume they are "another Christ" who not only think they speak for God but blasphemously tell the world they have become God."

Your circular logic is dizzying. To accept your premise we have to accept that either you are saying that the Catholic laity are not men, and/or not a part of the congregation or that your congregation is not speaking for God differently than the Catholic laity when it decides for itself the meaning of scripture against which to hold your pastors.
