In this episode of YouTube Catechesis, we take on a common but dangerous assumption: that every Christian can interpret Scripture with authority on their own. But where does the Bible actually say that? We explore key passages that challenge private interpretation and highlight how the early Church understood authority, tradition, and teaching. Drawing on the apostles, Church Fathers, and Scripture itself, we show why Christ entrusted the task of interpretation to His Church, not to individuals. Join us as we examine the roots of doctrinal chaos, the clarity of apostolic teaching, and the gift of unity safeguarded by the Catholic Church.
