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.

Seems like we can’t get a any non-Catholics to understand straight answer out of any Catholic about what their doctrine is. Actually the true statement is that none of the supposed ex-Catholics can demonstrate that they were ever Catholics, many can't even demonstrate being Christian.

They’re in a Catch-22 is why. They either have to accept everything and every Pope or admit their religion has been in error. Their mistaken interpretation about “the gates of hell” not prevailing against them turns back and bites them.
