Seems that we non-Catholics know Catholicism better than most Catholics.
Sad isn’t it. Seems a lot of Roman Catholics have not read much of the plethora of writings that stand in contradiction of the New Testament...or, perhaps, in what they believe Roman Catholicism to be.

Lately, it’s not that hard. We literally have the sum of human knowledge at our literal fingertips.
The only reason NOT to be knowledgeable about Catholic/Lutheran/Protestant/evangelical etc. doctrine on these Catholic threads is if you deliberately refuse to do five minutes of research.
Of course, a certain someone we all know proudly admits that he refuses to do research because he ‘has better things to do.’
And this is why it’s so much fun.
When these are examined in light of the New Testament we find the contradictions.
Prior to the internet this might not have been possible unless you had access to a research library and were willing to put a lot of time in to the research.
