Why does the Catholic Church claim the right to authentically interpret the Bible?
The Catholic Church was the original author of the New Testament as Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were all members of the early Catholic Church. Interpretation of what is in the Bible is left to the Magisterium of the Church - all the bishops acting in unison with the pope. That way, all Catholics believe the same basic truths. We have seen what happens when each individual is allowed to interpret scripture as they please. From the two original Protestant churches - the Lutheran and Church of England - have sprung over 30,000 separate Protestant denominations, each with its own interpretation of Sacred Scripture and each saying that their interpretation is the correct one. Even within the Church of England different interpretations in different areas of the world are tearing that church apart and many people, priests and bishops included, are returning to the Mother (Catholic) Church looking for stability.
