You should! It’s a perfect straw man argument simultaneously begs the question as a logical fallacy.

Problem is, Catholics think it's a brilliant, irrefutable argument. That's the level of their spiritual debate.

Well, think about it...

The Roman Catholic Church thinks that because they claim to be infallible and the authority, that every authority must also make that claim. It isn’t enough that the Bible is THE INSPIRED WORD OF GOD. Unless God also says something extra, it is a disconnect for them. Also, how could they adhere to two ultimate authorities? Heck, include the Savior and how can they have three or four. Better to stick with the church.

This is the Roman Catholic equivalent to the mormonic argument: “How could Christ talk to the Father? Was he talking to himself?” With their limited understanding of the nature of God, it makes perfect sense to them.
