You confuse "smug" with "secure". Every believer has the God-given ability and right to interpret God's word. You see, they have the Holy Spirit dwelling in them. Not a group of men dwelling in Rome.

There then arises the problem of interpreting the interpretation.

The CCC also needs interpretation, just like Scripture does, just like ANYTHING does.

If Scripture can be misinterpreted, then the Catechism of the Catholic church can likewise be misinterpreted. It can be poorly translated, as we've seen that made in some cases, and there can be disagreements amongst Catholics about some of the points of the CCC.

The very same criticism that Catholics lob against Proddies and their interpretation of Scripture can be lobbed against Catholics interpreting the CCC.

So if Proddies have YOPIOS, then Catholics have YOPIOCCC.

ABSOLUTELY INDEED TO THE MAX! LOL.
