Bible Note: Joe As we see here on this forum, proper Biblical understanding and intrepretation requires proper guidance, that's all the Catholic Church was trying to provide, in our way of doing things. It was thought that, left on their own, the average person would not properly understand the Scripture, that it would cause more confusion than clarification and that it was the duty and the responsibility of the clergy to provide a proper, accurate and consistent interpretation - to be the teacher. Personally, I am glad that the Church enhanced the method of teaching the Bible by creating the study Bible and giving each person more freedom to study at their own pace, or in conjunction with clergy.
