You are supposing that RCs can objectively examine evidence in order to ascertain the veracity of RC doctrine, but which is not the case if they are faithful. Their function is simply to support Rome, thus any evidence, by Prots or Catholics, such as the RC scholars i provided above by God's grace, or secular stats , that impugns their cherished image of Rome is often summarily dismissed as biased and liberal.

Sounds like the liberal elite. In-credible!
“The mere fact that the Church teaches the doctrine of the Assumption as definitely true is a guarantee that it is true.”
That’s exactly right. God gave the Catholic Church this teaching authority.
