I have a complete and true answer, but I know it will be dismissed out of hand before it is even read and frankly, I just don't want to argue about it with dimwits and liars.

Roman Catholic apologetics may well be filled with "dimwits and liars" but that isn't a good reason not to understand the Bible.

Why did Jesus speak in parables?

That's a pretty basic question of Christianity. RCs are always touting the fact they quote Christ (a fact not in evidence, but stated nonetheless.) So since Christ Himself tells us He does indeed speak in parables and why He does so, it isn't a stretch to wonder why a Roman Catholic wouldn't know the answer.

Maybe Roman Catholics haven't read those words of Christ to know the answer He's given us.

Or maybe they don't understand the words of Christ to know the answer.

What does the Roman Catholic church teach as to why Christ spoke in miracles?

"What does the Roman Catholic church teach as to why Christ spoke in miracles?"

I am done answering open ended questions from the Calvinist cabal and then having to rebut, disprove and correct the intentional mischaracterisations, misquotes and accusations in the ensuing blow-back. These questions aren't asked out of a real desire to learn anything or to compare dogma's, they are part of a game in which the anti-Catholic agenda is spewed out one item at a time to insult and hopefully solicit a gotcha moment.

For now I am content to skip the pretext and simply respond to the intentional mischaracterisations, misquotes and accusations that will find their way onto the thread anyway.
