“If you are saying there are catholics who remain in the church knowing full well it’s teaching opposes what Christ teaches”
The Catholic Church does not oppose what Christ teaches. It IS what Christ teaches.
Giving your opinion as the definitive of Christianity is just that, your opinion.
However, Merry Christmas to you and yours.
“III. CHRIST JESUS — “MEDIATOR AND FULLNESS OF ALL REVELATION”25
God has said everything in his Word”

To that I will agree...too bad catholics need Romes permission on what they should or not believe His word says though. And that is where we differ. I don't need Rome or the Pope and neither does anyone else IF they have Christ Jesus. He alone IS the truth...not a church or it's leadership...the church is and remains the body of believers and they attend various churches....Christ alone is the head.
Yes indeed it does oppose what Christ teaches. He is the only mediater and clearly stated so...catholics use many others than Him....They confess to a man Priest...when we are to confess to Christ...they pray to departed people...we are to make petitions to Christ alone...they see Mary as co-equal to Christ...He said He is the way, and the truth and no one can come to the father but by Him. So yes indeed they oppose Christ's teachings.
