Are you saying the Catholic Chuch can say something contrary to the Bible and it is to be accepted as the word of God based on the Catholic Church’s authority?

In addition, not contrary. As a Catholic I find that there are many Protestant teachings that are truly contrary to the Bible. The truth is that Protestants are as wedded to their own traditions of interpretation as Catholics.

“In addition, not contrary.”

Thanks. I appreciate the answer.

How is it determined whether the teaching is contrary?

“As a Catholic I find that there are many Protestant teachings that are truly contrary to the Bible. The truth is that Protestants are as wedded to their own traditions of interpretation as Catholics.”

May be. That’s not the topic of this thread, though.

Contrary to the way Catholics cherry pick? Like what?
