No. Catholics are just bound to the Scriptural pronouncements of fallible humans...

At least we have the doctrinal underpinnings to do so.

When Protestants see something in Scripture that contravenes their man-made doctrines they just pull out the word games to make it fit; never mind none of those word games are sanctioned, or even appear, in Scripture.
