Besides that, I thought that you needed a priest to interpret the Bible for you?

Really?

I thought that myth died at Trent.

Like St. Paul, I’m working out my salvation in fear and trembling.

I’m baptized and confess and study my faith.
I fall short and ask forgiveness.
I avail myself of God’s graces as often as possible.

Yes, really bro. I don't know or care about Trent. Maybe those priests didn't get the memo. I am sure my ex Catholic friends got the same message. Most, if not all of us, were told either don't read the scriptures, or get a priest to interpret it for us.
On those other issues, I doubt I agree with your interpretation of scripture, so, since others have tried to tell you the truth, and it appears you are not really interested in the truth, there really isn't any reason to discuss anything further with you.
I hope you make it to Heaven bro, but if you don't, that's on you. See you at the Pearly Gates, maybe.

If you don’t need a priest to interpret the Bible for you, then each and every Catholic will have to depend on their own personal interpretation of Scripture, the very thing Catholics condemn when non-Catholics do it.

You REALLY need much more of Mary's help.

You ARE obeying her; right?
