Non-Catholics are often castigated for YOPIOS- You Own Personal Interpretation of Scripture.
But Catholics allow themselves their own personal interpretation of the catechism of the Catholic church. We can label it as YOPIOCCC.
1.2 billion different interpretations of Catholic teaching. Each on his own little pope deciding for himself what he wants to accept and follow and what he doesn’t.
I guess the absolute authority, or any authority for that matter, of the Vatican doesn’t mean much any more.
Your comments indicate a lack of knowledge about the Catholic Faith. Perhaps one should study and understand the teachings of the Catholic Faith before posting false personal opinions.
Obviously, any interpretation we arrive at must not contradict what has already been defined as Catholic truth. That is why God gave the Church the power of defining things; to keep us from going wrong. We must be willing to submit our interpretations to the judgment of the magisterium.
There is no conflict between the work of exegetes, scholars, and believers in exploring the meaning of Scripture on the one hand, and the work of the magisterium in authentically defining the meaning of Scripture on the other hand.
Exegetes and believers must not pit their private judgment against the mind of the Church, or treat their methods as the ultimate arbiters of what Scripture can or cannot mean (this is what is meant by “private interpretation“). But that doesn’t mean that ordinary Catholics and Scripture scholars cannot use their intellects to probe the meaning of Scripture.
