If you went to parochial school, you should have studied the Catechism. Both the old Baltimore Catechism series and the new Catechism are based on Scripture - for each point of Catechism teaching, there is a Scripture verse, or verses, backing it up. Either you weren't paying attention the first time, you have completely forgotten, or you are purposefully, willfully, and conveniently disregarding this little fact in order to justify your leaving the Church. You will need to come up with another reason, because I don't buy your assertion that you just happened to discover the Church's teachings are "mere fiction and superstition." You are presenting yourself as a Protestant who is ignorant of Catholic teaching, but you know that teaching very well and are CHOOSING to argue against it. Your arguments are bogus, sir!

We did

Yeh === maybe one verse --- but they ignored the dozens of other scripture verses that negated what the catechism taught.

Either you weren't paying attention the first time, you have completely forgotten, or you are purposefully, willfully, and conveniently disregarding this little fact in order to justify your leaving the Church.

or I came to learn the truth and the truth set me free.

Okay ---- the fraudulent documentation and prefabrications and magisterial hypocrisy and spiritual pretentions and the gruesome history of those Inquisitions were also quite persuasive.

You are presenting yourself as a Protestant who is ignorant of Catholic teaching, but you know that teaching very well and are CHOOSING to argue against it.

So what!

Your arguments are bogus, sir!

It must be due to all those years in catechism classes.
