Please note that there is a difference between what some Catholics say the Catechism of the Catholic church says and what the church in reality teaches.
One of the problems with the catechism, even the one found on vatican.va, is that you can find two contradictory comments. So, no matter what a non-Catholic says the official doctrine of the Catholic church teaches with cites from the Catechism itself, someone can come along and tell them they’re wrong, as we’re seeing right now and we’ve seen in the past.
The Catholic church has made religion too complicated.

Just because you have access to the materials doesn't mean you are prepared to self-Catechize. Get yourself a good teacher or take some classes at a Catholic university where someone can help you understand it before you make those declarative statements.
