[Mrs. Don-o]

Kudos for going to the Catechism, Gamecock. It works well in whole sentences, and even better in whole paragraphs.

Para #100

and

Para #891 and Para #892

Please note modifying adjectives and clauses like "as supreme pastor" (not in other roles)... "proclaims by a definitive act" (not in other ways)...."pertaining to faith and morals (not pertaining to other things) ..."is also present in the body of bishops" (not confined to pope).

If anyone expresses an interest, I'll go through the whole thing phrase by phrase.

Please hold me excused for now, though. I've got to make some signs for our prayer vigil at the abortuary tomorrow. Our previous ones got rained on repeatedly, and are looking rather shabby.

If I may ask, please pray for us.

I'm talking about your explanation of the Catechism. Please provide authoritative teaching on the subject.

And I have been to the Catechism before. There one can read all about the Roman Catholic church schmoozing up to Islam.
