So would some Catholic somewhere be able to tell us then just what DOES define doctrine and what IS binding on Catholics to believe and why?

Yeah, sure you were catholic. Not even with a lower case "c"

So do you hold that everything the Catechism teaches must be believed by Catholics? As well as all papal encyclicals and bulls? Or are infallible decrees the only RC teachings that require assent of faith? And where do you find these teachings as to what requires assent of faith (and what may not) taught, and why do you believe these also require belief?

Seems like we can’t get a straight answer out of any Catholic about what their doctrine is.

What the heck is even the point of the Catechism and V2 if it’s not binding? And if that’s not binding, then what is?

Which council? Which papal decrees?

They all get to decide which Catholic leader they want to follow. IWO, every man his own pope and hardly a one of them has enough intestinal fortitude to actually take a stand and commit to that. It’s evasion and innuendos the whole way, all the while implying that the person asking them questions is lying. Deflection is not an answer.

Seen that before.

Asked and answered a dozen times this year alone. Which is it you don't like the answer or you don't understand the answer?
