>>So when you believe that your own personal interpretation of scripture is inerrant, does this mean that you are God?<<
I think that is not what is going on. Rather, I think the protestants say we are ALL flawed, but the catholics here seem to think that the “church fathers” were not flawed. According to your own definition above, one would infer that this means that catholics do, in fact, deify “Church Fathers”. Actually, that may explain many of their actions regarding the Pope.
Apparently, “Catholics worship the pope” is not a strawman, whereas, “Protestants worship themselves” is a strawman.
All Catholics have said here is that the Pope is infalliable in certain circumstances, and when speaking on faith and morals, through the power of the holy spirit, not himself.
How does an appeal to the authority of the holy spirit qualify as deification in one instance, and not the other?
