If a Catholic goes to say Mark 14:22-24, and comes to the conclusion that that text does not teach the Eucharist as taught by the fathers and the magisterium of the RCC, then the Catholic is being disobedient to those authorities and is not correctly understanding the text in accord with tradition. If a Protestant goes to the same text and concludes the text in Mark 14:22-24 is not teaching the Eucharist as understood by the fathers and the magisterium, then the Protestant is merely applying the reformed method of private interpretation. The two methods have some common areas, but also some marked differences.
