Why would you hold beliefs you "presume" to be in error? Because the official doctrine is insufficiently convincing. I am willing to presume that I am wrong and the Church is right, based on its collective knowledge and intellect, even if official doctrine does not explain why it is so.

Are these opinions of yours "wrong" in the specifics or just in an overall generality?

Wow! You have a great faith kosta, because you presume yourself wrong - because the Church is the Church even when the doctrine cannot be explained and you are not convinced (and you say I am controlled, as a robot); you have great faith in The Church. Do you think that there are those who disagee with The Church's teachings but are afraid to leave because they have been taught that they will lose their salvation if they leave? Does The Church teach loss of salvation away from The Church?
