How would you respond to this objection: "You say ambiguity and double-meaning is to be condemned because doctrine has to be clear and precise, so what do you say about the Bible, the most ambiguous Book packed with double-meaning?"

It is the Church that defines the meanings, not the Bible. If you look for clarity go straight to Mother Church.

I say you should listen to the magisterial teaching of the Catholic for a correct interpretation.
