Mirriam Webster

count*less (adjective)

First appeared 1588

: too numerous to be counted : MYRIAD, MANY

It does not mean most, not now, not ever.

So what does countless millions mean? Millions upon millions upon millions upon millions upon...

Besides, your argument against the Church was based upon the supposition that it does not teach the laity about God. This isn't even remotely true, our whole theology is based upon the belief the Jesus is God.

You see things which are not there. Please read exactly what I have written, not what you believe I am thinking.

Then let us go back to the point you first made about the Church I firmly believe the RCC is the most dangerous to it's body of "faithful". I questioned you about what was wrong with Catholics and you responded I believe there countless millions of Catholics in this world who have no idea who the Lord is... What the "Official Church Teaching" is, it is of no matter if the "people" don't have any idea what it is. This is what I believe is dangerous. Then I said Your silly argument that the RCC is bad because some people might not understand it, is true. But, you are missing the point.

If the official Church Teaching is fine then what is the problem? That to meany people don't know what that teaching is?

In order for your argument against the Church to be serious you have to prove that a) most Catholics don't know God, and b) the Catholic Magisterium wants it that way

How in the world can you come to such a conclusion? Please get help from another source before you attempt an answer.

Simple if the RCC is "the most dangerous to it's body of 'faithful'" because there are "countless millions of Catholics in this world who have no idea who the Lord is" than the problem, assuming "a)" is true, is that the Magisterium doesn't want people to know God. If "a)" isn't true, as I was trying to prove, you have no argument.
