The issue was whether the Catechism of the Catholic Church supports your claim that Christ explicitly said the only sign we need is His resurrection, which it does not.

lol. I actually enjoy this. Such is the glory of God. Here's your own catechism explicitly rebuking you...

994 - But there is more. Jesus links faith in the resurrection to his own person: "I am the Resurrection and the life."544 It is Jesus himself who on the last day will raise up those who have believed in him, who have eaten his body and drunk his blood.545 Already now in this present life he gives a sign and pledge of this by restoring some of the dead to life,546 announcing thereby his own Resurrection, though it was to be of another order. He speaks of this unique event as the "sign of Jonah,"547 the sign of the temple: he announces that he will be put to death but rise thereafter on the third day.548

Please note your catechism says Jesus "speaks of this unique event ('His own resurrection') as the 'sign of Jonah.'"

Christ's own words which He "speaks" clearly without confusion tell us His resurrection is as the sign of Jonah.

On this one it would seem like a person doesn't even need "eyes to see." His words are that "explicit."

I don't have a catechism. You are quoting the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

That aside, you need a dictionary.

What's missing is "only." The exclusivity is not there, if you have eyes to see and a heart to limit yourself only to what Christ (and the Catechism of His Church) says, rather than what you want.

I guarantee, taking you to school on logic is thoroughly enjoyable to me.

Amen, sister.

Mark 16:14 Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen.

John 20:20 Jesus said to him, "Thomas, because you have seen Me you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen yet have believed.
