Better the magisterial teaching, no matter how eye-crossing, than your personal interpretations of them, which often end up in the weeds (I offer your views on the validity of marriages with no representative of the Church present).
It is the character of an educated and well formed mind that one can take concepts which one has learned, and express them in one's own words. Simply.
It is further examplary of such a mind that one can take such concepts, once learned and use one's acquired knowledge, logic, and reasoning to debate such things - and thereby come to the conclusion that one agrees or disagrees with them.
I believe it was Tomas D'Aquin who said that intelligent questioning can be the beginning of faith itself. For in such questioning, by the use of right reason, one strengthens both faith and intellect.
