The only reason someone needs to *interpret* something is because they don’t like what it clearly and plainly says and want to change it’s meaning to make it say something other than what is stated.
Simply reading something and stating what it says is not hard in the least.
So, for example, when ealgeone posts Unum sanctum, Catholics tie themselves into knots trying to explain how it doesn’t apply to them and mean what it says.
Don’t we know someone who does exactly that, and says he is not interpreting scripture. I can’t remember his screen name, but I know he is around. 😁😊🤗🤣 When I was a catholic, I was told I needed a priest to interpret scripture for me. I don’t know if all Catholics are told this, but I know I was. 👎 I was a TOTALLY rebellious catholic. When they told me I needed a priest, I just picked up a Bible, and started reading it, just to spite the Church. Was I rebellious dude, or what? 🤣 I am glad now that I was. 👍👊
