Without the interpretation of the Holy Church, there is only chaos

The Church isn't limiting God, God is limiting His Church. Clearly anyone can see the wisdom of this... where are we now... 20,000 protestant denominations? Each denomination takes their particular slant on Biblical interpretation and has their own hierarchy of authority (however stunted). We may all preach Christ crucified for our sins but we are irreconcilable on the minutiae. If the Christian Church weren't harried from without, we would surely be in major turmoil from within. No denomination surrenders the interpretation of their scism!

On the contrary, you have the Catholic Church. Although peopled by flawed men who are in need of correction from time to time (Paul even corrected Peter on his attitude toward the gentiles), it has never needed correction on a matter of doctrine, dogma or the Deposit of the Faith. Indeed, the Church still believes as Christ taught it and has never waivered. There is no conflict between Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scripture. There is only misunderstanding by those taught to distrust anything associated with the RCC.

This article was written by a former protestant who came to the faith through prayer and research. There are many more scholars of protestant theology and ministers who have done the same. If you are truly interested in matters of faith, I would send you to the Coming Home Network to read the testimonies of those who have come home to Catholic faith.
