y statements come from the divinely revealed knowledge that the Catholic Church possesses and reveals. That you do not believe them, doesn't make them any less facts.

Prove they are divinely revealed. It is only by your belief and faith that you accept them.

The Church says that to be a fact, and I believe the Church. Regarding those fundamental things the Church does not say "it is our opinion", she says "it is our knowledge". There are things that the Church proposes that are opinions for my consideration, but the nature of the divine revelation to the Church is not one of them. It is a fact. The Holy Scripture, incidentally, says so as well:

But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will teach you all truth. For he shall not speak of himself; but what things soever he shall hear, he shall speak; and the things that are to come, he shall shew you. (John 16:13)

“...come from the divinely revealed knowledge that the Catholic Church possesses and reveals.”

Where would one find the divinely revealed knowledge of the Catholic Church? Why not write it down?

It would look nice along side the divine interpretation of scripture.
