Deriving teaching from Scripture does mean solely from Scripture.

Only if you are Bill Clinton or assorted other Dems, or a Catholic. If teaching is 'derived from Scripture', how can it mean anything else. Unless you are the same as those mentioned.

Catholics accept the authority of Scripture as just as binding as Protestants.

Except when it comes to their un-Scriptural dogmas. The ones surrounding Mary are a good example. Then Tradition trumps Scripture.

.
More to the point, catholicism is 100% about the ascendency and perfectibility of Man, and zero % about the commandments of God.
