Catholics Do Not Base "Infallible Magisterium" on "Opacity of Scripture"


@GospelSimplicity
You don’t need a magisterium to interpret a text

1) Now, this is a pretty good example of a text being very clear.

Next question: did Jesus Christ believe He gave His Church an infallible magisterium?

2) On a more pragmatic level.

I'd agree with Scholastic Answers aka Militant Thomist aka as Christian Wagner.

For each specific necessary doctrine, you probably on average would interpret the Bible right even without the infallible magisterium and your adherence to it.

The more doctrines you compound, the closer you come to having a zero chance of getting all of them right.

So, in a sense, the question has a flip question: how many doctrines are essential doctrines?
