“Or one could just see it as such a preposterous obfuscation and simply ignore the question not giving it any credence.”

True, and using simple words, non-Catholic Christians say
things that make no sense. I wish Protestants could see without any God given authority, their beliefs contradict Scripture who they proclaim is their only authority!
On “making sense” there is one fallen away Catholic lady
here who is Protestant now, this is the reason most of her
posts aren’t replied to plus all of her replies, are a mock of the true faith.
Here’s why they don’t make sense to Catholics.
1 Corinthians 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
When Catholics stop listening to the “wisdom of man” put out by the Vatican they’ll begin to “make sense”.

Well, here’s the “God given authority” for all who will listen.
And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Counselor to be with you forever--the Spirit of Truth. The world cannot accept Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you know Him, for He lives with you and will be in you. John 14:16,17
Acts 15:8 And God, who knows the heart, bore witness by granting them the holy Spirit just as he did us. 9 He made no distinction between us and them, for by faith he purified their hearts.
Notice that “no distinction” between the apostles and the lay? The RCC claiming “without any God given authority” applies to anyone but the Vatican is total nonsense and contradicts the clear teaching of scripture. I certainly wouldn’t rely on them.

Fallen away? LOL I think the admonition to “come out” of the false “religion” of Catholicism in no way could be described as “fallen away”. Those who have “come out” of the Catholic “religion” have found truth and have become part of the body of Christ rather than some humanistic “religion”.
