The mere fact that the Church teaches that something is definitely true is a guarantee that it is true (cf. Matt. 28:18-20, Luke 10:16, 1 Tim. 3:15).

Matt. 28:18-20...Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,

Luke 10:16...The one who hears you hears me, and the one who rejects you rejects me, and the one who rejects me rejects him who sent me.”

1 Tim. 3:15...if I am delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God's household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and.

Maybe I'm a little thick headed here...but just where does what you posted have to do with the passages you listed...

I might add the I can cite lots of RC teaching that are indisputable no true...simply because they have been clarified, adjusted, revised...

How can that be considered "truth" if it changes...
