In post 42 you say The second reason for this thread is to point out the disunity that the Sola Scriptura perspective brings.
Then when asked the source of your post you tell us to Google it for ourselves and Be aware, though, that some do write from their own perspective and not from the Church.
Your cabal is prone to individual interpretation and that is OK?. We give you our perspective and to you it is a springboard to attack on Sola Scriptura?
Seems your little game gottcha came back around and bit you.
Not only is individual interpretation OK, it is both scriptural and reality. Individual interpretation has been, is and will continue to exist in all of Christendom. Why? Because it is reality.
Understand this, when you stand before God on Judgement Day, will you be able to use the excuse “That is what the priest said.”? “This is what pope XXX said.” No, you will answer for yourself, your actions and your failings.
When the scripture (Philippians 2:12) says “Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.”
Hear that - “... your own salvation...”. You, regardless of who you are (layman, priest, bishop or pope) cannot and will not answer for anyone else on judgement day. You will answer for yourself and how you interpreted scripture. And in that moment, the only thing that will save you soul is Jesus stepping forward and saying that you are one of his. That he paid the price for you.
You infer too much. Any personal interpretation must be tested through the understanding of the Church. We are not authorities unto ourselves, though some men may say they are. My warning of other perspectives that call themselves Catholic but are not in keeping with the Magisterium is the same as it has always been for the Church. Look for the Imprimatur to know that you are reading authentic Catholic doctrine. Just because someone calls himself a Catholic doesn't make it so. Unity of doctrine and faith makes one a Catholic.

Not really. It showed exactly what I expected. Until I posted Church teaching, the responses were all over the place from "God abandoned Jesus" to "Jesus IS God and can't abandon Himself" to "No one can know what this really means." It showed the lack of authority in the Protestant world to have true unity of faith through private interpretation. Once I posted the Church teaching, you have all lined up to attack me and the Church.
And wait till we see what is authoritative that cannot err which supports all that he says.
