I read an article from Zenit on the Pope's priority for ecumenism. Here is an interesting excerpt:
Though agreement has been reached that Scripture and Tradition are not opposed, he said, there is still disagreement about, among other things, the role of the magisterium in interpreting it.You can read the full article here.
For Catholics:
- what is the magisterium and how does it interpret scripture?
- Do they declare a single interpretation for a given scripture as valid for all time?
- How do you interpret the interpretation of the magisterium?
- Is there room for different interpretations across cultures?
- Is it like a commentary on scripture?
- How does this affect preaching?
- Where can I go to find what the magisterium says about a particular scripture?
For Protestants:
- What does personal interpretation mean?
- Does it mean that anything goes?
- How does one test their own interpretation?
- How are the laity (and clergy) trained to read scripture?
- What role does tradition and authority play in personal interpretation?
- Is there such a thing as a wrong reading of scripture?
- What happens when two personal interpretations are mutually exclusive?
Thanks for your answers and comments. Are there other important questions that should be asked?
