I already did. Right above the scripture..

Why would we need the interpretation of other people exept those of the holy spirit to acknowledge what is right and wrong.

The Bible is a collection of books - laws, prophecies, stories - that were put together by a CATHOLIC council in 397 AD. The Council of Carthage. I find this amusing because fundamentalist Christians scream that the Catholic church doesn't follow the Bible but it was Catholic men who wrote a chunk of it and put it together. Technically they are using a Catholic book.

Catholic is derived from the Greek Katholikos which means common or universal.

Yep. It's the Universal Church, but isn't all churches or all Christians.
It has a hierarchy and a self governing system in place.
And it had a council that reported to leadership in Rome
as it approved and disapproved books for inclusion in the Bible.
So the Bible is technically a Catholic church book that all Christians
are using.

Yes, they use it to read.
