I agree that there is much to agree upon, but isn’t it like “the Sun set in the West today AGAIN” type of exercise?

Your premise is Protestant: that people can figure out the more difficult passages of the scripture by themselves, without patristic study. The Protestant disunity shows the futility of the exercise. Before there was the Holy Scripture there was the Church that kept and obeyed the Word in her bosom. That is what needs to be studied, not what a middle class American can think up from reading the Bible.

No, there is plenty that is not difficult that is unknown.

And invite a priest to post, quote the catechism, etc.

I always welcome learned perspectives.
