"No wonder Catholics don't understand Scripture. They don't even know what it is."

The real argument is that Catholics do not accept your interpretations. Until you can substantiate your claim to infallibility we will continue follow our Magisterium.

To continue to imply that Catholicism is unscriptural is simply fallacious and it a poorly veiled attack on the beliefs of individual Catholics when you attempt to lump us all together with another gross mischaracterization. It may assuage the scrutiny of the mods and draw the approval of the like minded, but there are no secrets from God who knows your heart and your intentions. The Gospel of Jesus is one of kindness, love and charity. He calls us to unity, not to proclaim our superiority and individuality at the expense of others. The love of God is much more than the ability to recite Scripture. It is manifest in our works of charity. For this I will continue to pray for you.

"It is by the path of love, which is charity, that God draws near to man, and man to God. But where charity is not found, God cannot dwell. If, then, we possess charity, we possess God, for "God is Charity"" - St. Albert the Great

"The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love." 1 John 4:8
