Read Romans 14. There are disputable matters.

God does not require us to agree lockstep with every least little point of doctrine as established by some denominational governing authority.

What a hoot Catholicism is: *We’re authoritative because we say so.*

Talk about pulling yourself up by your bootstraps.

Catholicism added all its traditions just like the Jewish religious leaders did in the day of Jesus and He soundly condemned them for adding to His word and tying burdens on men that they could not bear, burdens God NEVER intended to be there.

I don’t doubt that God will also condemn the burdens and bondage that Catholicism adds to His simple salvation message.

FWIW, when you can get all alleged 1.2 billion Catholics to agree on every last point of doctrine, then y’all can lecture us on the *failings* of sola Scriptura.

Otherwise, we’ll just sit back and watch the sedevacantists, the rad trads, the pre-V2, Post V2, EO etc, all condemn each other and continue to disagree.

Because there is plenty of self interpretation of not only Scripture, but the CCC and any pronouncements by the magisterium to go around. Not to mention that we’ve tried unsuccessfully for some time now, to get an official list of all the ex cathdra statements issued by popes and can’t even get that much.

Centralized governing authority doing all the thinking for the people and telling them what they are supposed to have to believe has done ZERO to getting them to all agree.

Catholics are in no position to criticize anyone for what they themselves do.

Ol' Pete WARNED them; but NO!.....
