“When Rome claims to have given us the Bible and thereby claims the right to properly *interpret* it, it puts itself above Scripture.”

No. It is much like how the Apostles led the Church but were not above the Church. They were appointed by God, made important decisions, and yet they were servants of the Church.

“What they say about the authority of Scripture is meaningless, when what they do in practice is different.”

Since they don’t do what you accuse them to do, you’re not saying anything that makes sense.

“There is no reading comprehension issues amongst non- Catholics but there is the issue of brainwashing and cultic indoctrination amongst Catholics so that they cannot see logical fallacies when they are hit over the head with them.”

The logical fallacy is all yours - as I just demonstrated in this post.

“What is stupid is not to see that claiming to be the author of Scripture does not mean the magisterium is over the Bible.”

No, what is stupid is for anti-Catholic bigots to attack doctrines no one actually believes in.
