The Catholic Church is Christ's faithful followers John 10:3-4. That is what Church means Matthew 16:18; 18:17; Acts 7:38. So when you object to the Catholic Church your objection is against the faithful in Christ who follow him wherever he leads John 10:14-16; 1Tim 3:15.
Satan himself said to the Lord Jesus "If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down. For it has been written: "For he has given charge of you to his angels, and they shall take you into their hands, lest perhaps you may hurt your foot against a stone."" Matthew 4:6 thus showing how easy it is to...

You cannot use the same argument because no claim is made about reasoning one's way to such and such a doctrine. Catholic teaching is not drawn from reasoning about private personal individual interpretations.
Could he not say of you that you accepted human traditions and are now unprepared to hear anything else because you love the traditions of your denomination more than you love the truth? Surely hearing another view is necessary before one can say that it is wrong?
The faithful make room for mystery in their faith because when they are confronted by God's grace in Christ they are confronted with things for which reason has no analogy and no adequate explanation. If everything must be subject to one's understanding of the bible then where is the room for...
