As to your comment in “bad theology”, you possess absolutely no teaching authority, none, to Challenge the Catholic Church’s Catechism. You should try actually reading the Catechism of the Catholic Church to answer any of your objections. And please don’t tell me all you need is your Bible. If that were the case, thousands of different Protestant Churches would not be in conflict with each other. Jesus left a single Church with a single teaching authority and a single truth. We all need a a teaching authority to help guide us in interpreting scripture.

Look, Motormouth...

I...if an ASS can send GOD's message, HE can surely use me in similar manner.

Show me just WHERE in your catechism that Mary goes to Heaven to be Jesus' executive secretary; and I'll perhaps reconsider the BAD THEOLOGY thingy.

That is your position, but it requires a basis. It seems to me that the RC argument is that the use of fallible human reasoning cannot obtain valid assurance of Truth based upon Scriptural substantiation, but that an infallible magisterium is necessary for this and to fulfill promises of Divine presence, providence of Truth, and preservation of faith. (Jn. 14:16; 16:13; Mt. 16:18)

And that being the historical instruments and stewards of Divine revelation means that Rome is the assuredly infallible magisterium. Thus those who dissent from the latter are in rebellion to God. Do you think this is the basis for your assertion, or how would you differ?
