"Catholics always end up in such a mess because they don't know Scripture."

Do you never get tired of repeating that lie? First, there is the Bible itself, Canonized and produced by Catholics. Then, there is 2,000 years of Catholic teaching and literature concentrated upon Scripture, and lastly you are rebutted with Scripture by Catholics daily yet you persist in that like some kind of mantra or incantation. Do you believe that if you say it often enough it might become true?

I refer you to the Scripture that I assure you Catholics know well:

"But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator." - Colossians 3:8-10

(BTW - you need to update your ping list. Some of those you think are sympathetic have either died, deserted or defected).

Satan knows Scripture - it's applying it, obeying it with the KNOWLEDGE of God's Word is the FINAL Authority that tells if one really KNOWS it! It's living It, not, merely, quoting It that separates those who KNOW from the 'know nothings'.

1 John 2:5,6 "But if anyone obeys HIS WORD, God's love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are IN HIM: Whoever claims to live in Him must walk as Jesus did."

First, there is the Bible itself, Canonized and produced by Catholics.

That is a damnable untruth - and that alone shows how deceived catholics are. It was written by chosen men of God, such as Moses, Paul under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit! Long before the counterfeit church came into existence. The WORD always was, before it was written, and always will be. And that same Holy Spirit dwells in God's own Who teaches them HIS WORD.

So what? Even if that claim were true, it doesn't go to follow that something that happened hundreds or thousands of years ago has any particular effect on any individual Catholic. It's not like present day Catholics in their individual daily lives by osmosis absorb some special ability to know Scripture because of some writing of it by someone who died ~2,000 years before they were born.

That's a totally bogus and irrelevant argument to use against the fact that the average Catholics has virtually no decent working knowledge of Scripture.

And where might that be found? Has the Catholic church published a commentary yet?

and lastly you are rebutted with Scripture by Catholics daily yet you persist in that like some kind of mantra or incantation.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Catholics rarely use Scripture. They use the *church fathers*, various and sundry popes, the prophet du jour that we're expected to acknowledge and accept as if there is some credence to their utterings, but RARELY do they use Scripture and in the times they do, they take a verse, or part of a verse, out of context and act as if they expect others to not see what they're doing.
