And that is a shame that the Church has to face up to. Yet, a verse by verse commentary is not necessary when the teachers are catechized properly. I will say again that the lack of catechization is what has driven so many people from the Church into the arms of the organizations that are ready to receive them.
Nice try mark.. but the Bible is a large volume and the church teaches only the magistrum can properly interpret scripture..
I have read catholics theologians that come up with new interpretations that no one else has ever seen and that are purely from their own imagination.. and catholics swallow them whole, as if they are church truth . When in fact they are being their own pope..
The charge by Catholics that every protestant is his own pope rings hollow when the church has never taken time to teach the scriptures in context in an OFFICIAL catholic commentary ...so every bible study teacher , every theologian , every priest on Sundays is in fact giving his personal reading ...because your church knows if they ever did a contextual commentary it would show the faulty doctrine for what it is
