Autoland CAT 1 Authorization OPSPEC

Let me start by saying my carrier is not cat 2/3 authorized, B737 & B767 operator.
C061 is the opspec in question in FAA land, says "use flight control guidance systems for airplane automatic landing operations other than categories II and III" not authorized. we have no guidance in FOM for Autoland, all our aircraft are capable using dual channel. Do I take this opspec, that we are "not authorized" to mean that under any circumstance Autoland is not to be used IFR or VFR for CAT 1 operations period. Half the pilot group says we can, other half, no. I'm in the no camp.
