No one can fault the Protestants for their love of Jesus and the Bible, but ultimately their approach is like swearing allegence to the Constitution while denying the authority of the Supreme Court.

One thing I like about your analogy, the Supreme Court is a man-made institution.

But, the analogy quickly falls apart as soon as one realizes the Supreme Court was actually established in or by the Constitution.

Not with a Catholic hermeneutic it doesn't.
