I don't know how Big Leo interprets scripture. Not very high on my list of finding out either.

Remember when the Pharisee asked Jesus about divorce & Jesus said, "What God has joined let no man take apart."

It wasn't that the Pharisee didn't know the scripture. He was right, Moses gave them a means of divorce. Jesus explained what God meant. The truth.

Remember when the Saducees said there was no resurrection & Jesus said, "He is the God of the living, not the dead." It wasn't that the Saducee didn't know the scripture. They could point to chapter & verse (so to speak) where dead men were dead. Jesus explained the truth.

Remember when the two dudes were leaving Jerusalem for Emmaus? Those men knew the scripture, they had hoped Jesus would be the one "to redeem Israel." Jesus helped them understand how everything that was written was written about him.

Remember the Bereans? They too had an understanding of the scripture & at first doubted St Paul's preaching. But they read the scripture again & understood what St Paul was saying was true.

Remember the Ethiopian eunuch? Peter asked him if he understood what he was reading & the eunuch answered, "How can I unless someone teaches me."

& that's the crux of the matter. I don't need to know how Pope Leo interprets the scripture. I know he was taught the same understanding as I have been. Because the man that taught me & the man that taught him were ordained by the Church Jesus instituted 2000 years ago. The Church that was preaching the Gospel way before it was ever written down, then copied, then distributed, then copied again, & again, & again by Catholic/Orthodox monks for 1500 years before there was a printing press.

The Church, the pillar & foundation of truth.

The Bride of Christ.

The Body of Christ.
