So if there is no official, sanctioned by the Catholic church, verse by verse interpretation of Scripture, then whatever has not been officially defined is up for grabs.

Any Catholic can use their own personal interpretation of Scripture for understanding. Right?

You know, the very thing we non-Catholics are continually being told we cannot depend on?

So you all get to do what you prohibit in others.

What a racket.

Metmom, honest to God. Please refrain from putting words into my mouth.

It’s past 10:00. I’ll have to deal with this tomorrow.

Here’s the foundational erroneous assumption: “Whatever has not been officially defined is up for grabs.”

Is that how your religion works? No? Then why do you attribute it to me, or to the Catholic Church?

When someone tells me I can't be my own pope, and interpret scripture, as the Holy Spirit tells me I can, I just smile, and keep on being my own pope. 🙏🇵🇭👍
