It's not a throwaway. I'm simply observing that you apparently believe yourself possessed of The Truth. It is not possible to have a rational argument with you.

It's not possible to have a rational argument with someone who actually believes in something? With someone who believes that objective moral truth exists and can be known with reasonable certainty?

I find your seeming willingness to subordinate conscience to the state, and to require others to do so, troubling. A good state does not require persons with a rightly formed conscience to do that, simply because a good state does not pass laws that contradict natural law. There aren't many good states today.

Dear CatoRenasci,

Individual Catholics should not believe ourselves individually possessed of the Truth.

However, we do believe that the Catholic Church is possessed of the Truth. In fact, as the Body of Christ, we believe that the Catholic Church is the foundation and pillar of Truth.

To believe otherwise isn't exactly Catholic.
