Catholics are told what they must believe under threat of eternal damnation by their leadership.
Dissent is not allowed.
They are told that the Catholic church will interpret Scripture for them and that they are incapable of doing it themselves.
And as a Catholic I was taught that you never, EVER, dared to question what you were taught or told by a priest or nun. Just who did you think you were to question THEM?
“Dissent is not allowed.”
Not true and you have been told that, again and again. Why tell falsehoods about the Catholic Church? How does that benefit anyone?
