The bishops are consecrated by the Pope, and one can seek their advice regarding the publications. Also, Catohlic method supposes harmony with the scripture and the historical continuing teaching of the Church, which is a matter of record.
And that supposition is shown to be invalid by the many anti-Scriptural beliefs and practices taught by Rome.
"That God's word damns your ceremonies it is evident; for the plain and straight commandment of God is, 'Not that thing which appears good in thy eyes shalt thou do to the Lord thy God, but what the Lord thy God has commanded thee; that do thou; add nothing to it; diminish nothing from it.' Now unless you are able to prove that God has commanded your ceremonies, this his former commandment will damn both you and them." -- John Knox (Knox, Works, 1:199. Cf. Calvin, The Necessity of Reforming the Church, in Tracts, 1:128-29.)
