Dear, Seek, what you should realize is that Scripture has been interpreted very consistently regarding Sacraments, Faith and Moral for over 2000 years from the writing of the early Church Fathers and only reinforced through the ages.
The reformation was the start of much the modern interpretation and dragging up old condemned heresies regarding Scripture interpretations when it goes against this. In many cases we are in union,so this is where we should seek to start the healing process between us.

I will agree to a certain extent — ON THE MAIN AND ESSENTIAL ISSUES (e.g., the nature of God, Christ, His birth, death and resurrection), scripture has been consistently interpreted.
However, on the issue of ultimate authority (just one instance ), I have to disagree. There has not been uniformity in interpretation at all ( even long before the reformation ).
In post #163 above, I cited but a few examples of church fathers who do not interpret Matthew 16 as Peter being the rock that Jesus Christ was referring to ( Augustine for instance ).
