Your argument, may I remind you, was that no Catholic is supposed to "blindly believe", yet these statements certainly express this clearly enough. And let's not forget Unam Sanctum or other such "bulls" and dogmatic proclamations over the centuries not to mention the Catechism. So while this reference is being clarified, why not work on the others. I know it may be difficult to pass up the opportunity to impugn an opponent's credibility or scholarship, but do try to consider the actual point of this and that all is not lost IF a mistake was unintentionally made.

So any discrepancy is not your fault, but some other mythical poster’s error?
It seems that impeaching your sources is fruitful, when one is searching for 1 your meaning and 2 the truthe
I certainly hope that everyone reading this thread will go to the links given and follow them to their sources. Those so-called “Bible studies” appear to be something else entirely at times.

I find it amazing that Catholics will find an error in some writing from Protestants and proclaim that all from that site or author is to be discounted yet when the books they use as scripture are shown to have errors they will discount those errors or even claim they don’t exist.
Were this an isolated incident you might have an appeal to my sympathies for being duped, but literally every thread of any length has multiple and even repeated incidents of this sort of thing happening. If your disdain for the Church is so legitimate you ought to be able to criticize and reject the Church and its doctrines on its own merits, but don't or can't without looking foolish or petty. Why don't you just step back and ask yourself a few basic questions and reflect and pray on the answers before proceeding:
-Do you believe or expect anyone else to believe that God needs to lie to reach Catholics or that He would approve of these deceptions?
-Who is the “Father of Lies” and who do you think these falsehoods actually serve?
-Why is it that there needs to be and are so very many false assertions made about Catholicism?
-Why is it necessary to go to the extremes of having to hide these lies within falsified documents and attributions?
-Why is the intensity of this hatred so great that there had to be a list of banned websites and sources within the Religion Forum when there is to corresponding listing of Catholic sponsored anti-Protestant sites and material?
-Why are there so very many anti-Catholic pejorative terms and monikers when there are almost none by Catholics against other faiths?
-Why is it that you and so many others are so very eager to accept and repeat these falsified factoids about the Church without verification?
-Have you ever considered why Catholics continue to come to this cesspool of lies and go to the trouble sifting through the garbage to sort fact from fiction over and over again?
