And you're proud of that [the Catholics are asked to listen to the interpretation of the scripture proposed by the Church]???

Of course. The Church gave us the Bible, and the Church explains its meaning. Logical.

Nowhere in Scripture does God tell us a church magisterium will interpret Scripture for us.

The Church is the court of last instance for all disputes, nit just about the scripture. See Matthew 18:17-18. See also "how shall they preach unless they be sent" (Rom. 10:15), and "And how can I [understand the scripture], unless some man shew me?" Acts 8:31.

1 John 2:27

speaks of the fact that a comfirmed Catholic need no instruction from the unconfirmed, nor, of course, from the Antichrist. The "unction" here is the Catholic sacrament.

1 Corinthians 2:12-13

The "we" in that passage is St. Paul and the apostolic college, see the beginning of the chapter.

Nowhere does the Bible encourage the heretics to figure the scripture out for themselves. That is what the clergy is for, men "of God [...] perfect, furnished to every good work" (2 Tim, 3:17).

Wow.

Now I know I'm on the wrong planet.

“the apostolic college”? I don’t see that anywhere in my bible in 1 Cor. 2:12-13 OR the beginning of the chapter. We, the believers, are ALL called saints. You’re going to have to be more specific.
