Catholic teaching requires you to submit to the teaching to remain Catholic
Or else what???
I never heard of such a thing. Everything I believe as a Catholic is contained in The Apostles’ Creed. No more, no less. If someone adds to that I’m sorry, no go. If someone deletes anything...no go. I can not be clearer.
Sorry, don’t mean to sound cranky.
Never read your Catechism then. Oh boy.
BTW, I am not surprised, lots of things in the Catechism would make a confessor of the Apostle's Creed raise an eyebrow.
