Personal interpration of the Bible

The following is an excerpt from the Catholic Answer Bible:

"Catholics view the Bible, the Church, and sacred Tradition as completely harmonious pieces of a whole. Catholics have always believed that sacred Scripture is God's inspired, infallible, inerrant written word and revelation. The Bible is central and primary in Catholicism, but not exclusively authoritative - it is never in opposition to the magisterium (i.e., the teaching authority of the Church). We maintain that this is the apostolic and patristic viewpoint. The Bible itself points to Tradition and the Church as authoritative; it doesn't teach that it alone is the Christian's sole ultimate authority, or self-interpreting. The Catholic Church believes that Bible reading is very important for every Christian and approved translations of the Bible into many languages long before the sixteenth century. What the Church opposes is an individualism in biblical interpretation that would reject doctrines that the Catholic Church has always held through history. [I would reject any doctrine that does not stand up for life within the womb, the body and blood of Christ present in Communion, etc.] St. Augustine well sums up the Catholic position: "In regard to those observances... which derive not from Scripture but from Tradition, we are given to understand that they are recommended and ordained to be kept, either by the apostles themselves or by plenary councils, the authority of which is quite vital in the Church.""

The Catholic church is the universal and first Christian church. The Bible is a catholic book, written by the first Christians.
