And if two people claim to be “saints,” to have the power to interpret but offer differing interpretations of the same text? Then who decides between them?

Give me an example of a verse or passage that two *saints* disagree on. The question is too vague.

Likewise for the Catholic church.

Is everything in the Catholic church by consensus? Do all those involved in deciding the *correct* interpretation of a verse or passage come to the same conclusion?

Or is it decided by majority vote?
