[Arthur McGowan]

Well, if your definition of “personal interpretation” is “having an intellect,” fine.

The best course for a Catholic is:

1) be familiar with the teaching of the Catholic Church prior to 2013;

2) ignore Bergoglio, because he will be gone soon.

Did something change after 2013? ??

ignore Bergoglio

Quite a statement, and quite telling. The Vicar of Christ may be "ignored". It seems that all this fuss by us Protestants was misplaced. This concept of absolute authority in the RCC was a paper tiger. Ignore the Pope (and any other authority figure) unless he conforms to your interpretation of historical Catholic teaching. Fascinating.
