I am also a confirmed catholic (well, ex catholic that is) so I have the ability and obligation to explain what the scripture says. You are still a catholic, therefore, when you try to explain it, you are interpreting it, and you even admitted it yourself, that you are not allowed to interpret without a priest. You must be consistent. Telling people what is says and interpreting are one and the same. This is not brain surgery. Be consistent. Don't explain anything, because when you explain, you are giving your interpretation, and I don't agree with your interpretation. We will have to agree to disagree. See you at the pearly gates. 😄
This explains my lack of interest in your opinions, interpretations, and protests. You are a Protestant. I am Catholic. I speak from faith. You do not.
Telling people what is says and interpreting are one and the same
No it is not. Observe how I explain James 2 and the Protestant build up complex logical (or seemingly logical) mental constructions to make it look like the verses such as James 2:24 was not there. They are interpreting, and dishonestly. I merely explain what is written.
