Well, let’s see here.

The Apostles wrote, and Jesus spoke.

The Vatican claims that the Apostles meant the exact opposite of what they actually wrote, and that Jesus meant the exact opposite of what he actually said.

And I should believe the Vatican... why, exactly?

If you’re going to claim that the actual letters of the Apostles and the actual words of Jesus mean the opposite of what they actually say, then you’re gonna have to provide some evidence beyond self-contradictory ‘church fathers,’ many of whom also taught in opposition to current Roman doctrine anyways.

No, they didn't. The Fathers of the Church wrote that the Apostles and Jesus meant exactly what they said. Go ahead--read what the Fathers of the Church wrote. The novel doctrine wasn't introduced until 1,500 years later.

The Vatican is a country. WHOM, specifically, are you saying “claims that the apostles meant the exact opposite of what they wrote”? Secondly, how do you know your interpretation is any better?
