INTERPRETATION

Giving the meaning or explanation of something, as of a doctrine, law, or statement of purpose. It is authentic when given by the Church's teaching authority and calls for obedient acceptance by the faithful; doctrinal when the Church exercises her magisterial right to teach the way of salvation; broad when the explanation of a law favors liberty; and narrow when the explanation limits human freedom.

Too late ... Peter precedes you ...


2 Peter 1:20-21 (KJV)

20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

I have tried to explain to people that “you are a Catholic or you ain’t.” If you want to do buffet-style religion, become a Protestant.

Few understand — which is frustrating when it is the CATHOLICS who don’t understand.

I at least was honest enough to realize I ain’t (I know, Salvation, you constantly remind me the door is open — but that is a discussion for another day).
