The whole vid is good but if it's too long here is the best point:
Caths accuse prots of just interpreting it for themselves, yet we do the same thing. When the church declares there is no salvation outside the church we interpret it to mean except in this and this case.
The church never defined dogmatically what Acts 15 meant but we interpret it to confirm Peter's authority without the church confirming this.
So we are every bit as subjective but just leaning towards Rome.
Another major point and this has been bugging me about caths on this board too: Using the word tradition Paul used when he preached the gospel to hammer in Mariology, papal infallibility, purgatory, etc.

That is kinda the point. That the church is made up of scholars stuyding the religion for over 2000 years in order to interpret it right.
How does that differ from laws, and lawyers studying them? Or scientist studying science?

Paul's traditions are written in the bible.
Nothing after the bible was written is known to be inspired by God.
So all of the "traditions" of the "early church fathers" are suspect. Not only that, but if you actually read Acts with any spiritual discernment, you would find that the "early church" in the first century was a mess.
And then if you read the Revelation with any discernment, you would see 7 churches, 4 of which were messes, and only three of which were even on the right track. And only two of those received no condemnation.
And that was all in the first century.
The bible interprets itself, but only if you have the Holy Spirit in you. Natural man cannot understand the things of God, because they are spiritually discerned.
Every single born again Christian has the spirit of God in them, and if they want to, can read and understand the scripture for themselves, and know what it means.
The boogeyman of the papacy burning bibles not in latin, telling people they cannot possibly understand the bible on their own, not to read it, but to take their "magisterium's" word for it is just simply cult behavior.
The roman catholic church, the eastern orthodox church, and islam are nothing but cults based loosely off of Christianity.
Peter was never a pope, never the bishop of Rome; if he ever went to Rome, it was to die. His bones are in Jerusalem, where they have been for 1900 years.
Only a cult would say its members are the only ones who can be saved. The truth is that the real church, what people call the invisible church, is not the roman catholic church at all.
And the roman catholic church is not a christian church, at all.
They base their authority off of "apostolic succession", which of course is not in the bible, but in their own tradition.
The truth is:
Rome is Babylon
Roman Catholicism is Mystery Babylon
The pope is the False Prophet of Mystery Babylon

Because natural men can understand science, because other natural men invented it. Same with law and lawyers.
The things of God are not understood by natural men; they are spiritually discerned, and require the presence and instruction of the Holy Spirit to understand.
And no, the Catholic church is not 2000 years old, and no, it has absolutely no idea what the bible means. Could care less.

this completely gets rid of any argument against protestantism from a catholic perspective. now random branch of baptists' interpretation is just a valid as part of this continual "refinement" of interpretation through studying the texts. hopefully now catholic shitposting here will cease.

church tradition is how you get the fucking list of books to be canonized in the bible. the correct answer is none of it is inspired.
