As though you've NEVER been told what Catholics believe before. As though we've kept it a secret! LOL! Not a chance. Look it up.
We do look it up, that seems to be what’s causing some catholics the greatest difficulty. Is Mary the tree of life for example? Is she the “firstborn” of every creature? And so on, and so on, and so on. And if she is, if she does in your theology, usurp all the roles that belong to Christ, then defend why it’s so, or you believe that it’s so and proper. Calling people “bigots” for asking serious theological questions is childish behavior and doesn’t belong on a religion forum.
What a slightly clever cop-out.
Doesn’t wash at all but nice try.
Actually, from what I’ve encountered, the Catholics don’t generally tell you what they do believe, but rather what they don’t.
Someone will provide a source to back up a point they’re making and all I’ll see is *Catholics don’t believe that*, instead of telling us what they do believe and correcting the error.
Almost always in the negative, virtually never in the positive.
Well if Catholics aren’t going to refute the error with positive (this is what they believe) instead of negative (that’s not what they believe), then everyone else can justifiably conclude that it was not error after all. It just puts it to the level of opinion with no fact to back it up.
