The Scripture doesn’t deal with most lives of saints and does not directly refer to the Assumption of Our Lady, even though Apoc. 12 alludes to it.

IMO this wasn't meant to be taken seriously?

"The Church gave you the New Testament and explained the Old. You are free to examine the Catechism and compare it with the Scripture. Where is the deception?" Post #2,858

I examined the Catechism, compared it to Scripture, and came up empty. There is the deception! The Catechism alligns with Scripture sometimes. The Catechism is 100% Extra-Scriptural sometimes.

Conclusion: The Catechism is meant to supplement, not conform to, Scripture. To claim otherwise is deception.

No one claimed otherwise. The Catechism is a faithful reflection of the entire Sacred Deposit of faith that the Church received, and it is available to all, rather than secret. It includes things not directly found in the scripture, because the scripture is a subset of the Deposit of Faith. I am sorry if it did not become clear earlier, despite my best effort.
