The problem the Catholics have is that there are too many of us who were born into the Catholic church, raised in it, catechized in it, and have taught in it.
We KNOW what the ROMAN Catholic churches we attended taught. We know what we believed, what our Catholic relatives believe, what our Catholic co-workers believe, and what our Catholic classmates believe, and there’s far more consistency among all of them, than there are on FR.
What most of the FRoman Catholics claim the Catholic church *really* teaches, is usually not what the hundreds of practicing Roman Catholics I know believe.
Those Catholics on this forum who attack us for misrepresenting the Catholic church and lying about it and spreading lies about it are way more out of touch with mainstream Catholicism than they claim we are.
