Actually, they tell us we to submit to the pope and church, rather than ascertaining the validity of what is taught by the Scriptures, since that can result in division.
But then most RCs pick and choose what to obey from among what their church issues, according to their judgment of whether it is valid or not in the light of what they judge certain past church teaching means. Which can also result in division, but which is only sanctioned if done by Catholic censors of evangelicals.
You said it brother.
