How long do you think we should wait without replies before we just declare victory and wait for the next thread where we’ll just do this all over again?
“Victory”? Why don’t you guys argue over baptism or church authority or sovereign grace or any of the thousand other things you are divided by. It’s hilarious, and sad, that the only thing you all agree on is (a) Catholics are wrong; and (b) When in doubt, see rule (a).

I understand your point.
Once they have asserted the things they were told, and they are not accepted because they are false, they disappear.
But...
The only victory is His - when people turn from religion and ritual to faith in Him alone, and with it eternal life.
I wish this for them all.
They won’t find it in ritual, nor works, nor mass, nor Mary.
Those alone won’t stop a trip to hell.
Eternal life isn’t in a wafer.
It is in Him alone.
It is up to God to open eyes and hearts, as you know.
All I DO know is that when the grist mill fires up once more; we'll be there to toss in the grain.
Wow, that sounds like the devil's logic! God stopped "posting" to His Holy Scriptures thousands of years ago, but the devil keeps right on "posting" his porn, and his media lies, and his "demoncrap party platform of baby-killing and perversion", etc., etc., etc. (In spite of that, God is winning, and the devil is losing.)
Another way of looking at it, is to look at your fellow millenial, AOC. Many people try to explain the real world to AOC, but they eventually stop arguing with her, and just walk away. It is certainly not because she is right about anything, and they are wrong, but rather, because it eventually becomes very clear that she is too damn thick of a numbskull to be able to grasp the truths they are telling her, so they wisely move on to more useful and productive things, (yet she keeps right on spouting her false, idiotic BS, like her cerebral reflections on the expulsive horrors of cow farts).
If I see someone here who demonstrates repeatedly that they are too helplessly obtuse to see what others are saying, (similar to that famous millenial, AOC herself), it's time to move on to doing something else with my time, of more value, at least for a while. You can declare victory all you want, but of course that's simply a bold-faced falsehood.
