In this second part of the ten part series lecture series, Father Gilsdorf offers the answer to the question of private interpretations of the Scriptures is to realize that the Scriptures are the Word of God as revealed through the instrumentality of the Catholic Church. As a consequence, the Bible should be studied in the light of the Magisterium (Catholic Doctrine) and Tradition. Otherwise, private interpretation apart from the guidance and teaching authority of the Catholic Church, from whom the Bible came to begin with, results in confusion and error.
