The mind projection fallacy is a logical fallacy in which someone thinks that the way they see the world reflects the way the world really is, going as far as assuming the real existence of imagined objects, or in our case actual Catholic doctrine.

If you say so.

Another manifestation of the fallacy is when one assumes their own is when someone assumes that their own lack of knowledge about a subject as meaning that the is is not or cannot be understood by others.

Am I to assume that this is such a manifestation?

Thanks for catching that. My granddaughter made some edits by bumping the keybpard while climbing onto my lap and apparently pushed the enter key before I was ready to send. I didn't see it until you pointed it out. The post should have said:

Peace be with you.
