My point is that we must be careful to make sure that the translations of the scriptures we are reading are accurate.

How do you as a Roman Catholic understand a verse like 2 Peter 1:20?

"knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation,"

Based on this verse I seem to remember that the Catholic church has taught that laymen shouldn't try to interpret Scripture for himself but rather rely on a Priest to explain it to him. Has that changed?
