Very good answer and excellent post,dear bb.
I will also assume you agree with the dogmatic teachings of the Catholic Church in matters of Faith and Morals and will post otherwise if you disagree with any of them.
That would be a good assumption, dear brother stfassisi. I've read the splendid reissue of the Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church, produced under the editorship of the brilliant Cristophe Cardinal Schönborn, as commissioned by, and under the auspices of, then-Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI.
I think it is simply, absolutely magnificent.
Thank you for your kind words, dear brother in Christ!
