“Your longer list actually contains items which can be placed under the “umbrella” of one or another of m”

That was never stated otherwise or made a point of contention, as the list serves to shows things Catholics can disagree on, including what is under the umbrella and how far.

***That was never stated otherwise or made a point of contention***

Your post commented on the “shortness” of my list and you added others. I just pointed out that the ones you added were developed from the ones I listed.

That is the way the theology and doctrines of the Church are developed. The doctrines don’t change, or contradict, they deepen through centuries of study and prayer and guidance by the Holy Spirit.

I haven’t heard or yet seen an argument against Catholicism that hasn’t be raised before and answered before, even if in a rudimentary way.

But the continuing dissent serves as opportunity to further define or clarify or deepen the Church’s understanding of Scripture and theology.

Catholics are not automatons or robots or mindless boobs, some do in fact dissent and the Church tries to teach them and also learn from them.
