If there is definitive teaching, why does the Catechism engage in "wishful thinking"? Doesn't speak well for the catechism.

Well, doctor, sometimes I wonder. As you would also recall, the CCC already had "revisions" on a few items.

Ordinary Magisterium is only as good as they adhere to constant teachings of the Church, especially on theological items specifically pronounced by Councils.

In all fairness, while "speculation" is allowed, they should be more careful and make mention of it whenever applicable.
