I’ve found that most Catholics I’ve met (including on FR) don’t have much of an idea what they even believe? Why should they, when the hierarchy does the thinking for them? I wonder how many Catholics have actually even read their own Catechism? I have.

That may be so, but it has nothing to do with the futility of going to the site to which you linked to learn what we teach, and that was the point of my post.

Good for you for having read the Catechism.

Perhaps you should consider that they have no interest in getting into their beliefs with you.

Utterly laughable. The Catholic intellectual tradition is the strongest in all of Christianity. You might want to ask Scalia, Thomas, Alito, Kennedy, and Roberts if the hierarchy does their thinking for them.

Good for you. Want a medal?
