To that, compare the pride-engendered Protestant position, which says that moi....is the one who gets to make the final call. Obedience is not for me. If I say it's white, then that's all that matters.

"Moi" is not the "final call."

Scripture is the final call, the measure of all truth and life and spirit, our only rule of faith and practice.

The Roman Catholic church could have this type of clarity, too, if they would simply stop saying "black is white" and learn from God's word which does not lie for any reason.

"For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are done in truth." -- Psalm 33:4

No Doc, you're not getting away with that little wiggle and two-step.

Get it right.

It's not Scripture.

It's your very own, infallible, personal, one man, magisterial interpretation of Scripture. It's you. You, you, you.

Nice try.

The Church, the Mystical Body of Christ, doesn't infallibly teach and guide us.

We take care of it ourselves under the guise of "Scripture".

Hah!!

Since Scripture does not say that, your statement is false...it fails under the weight of its own circular illogic.
