Then why is it so difficult to get these questions answered clearly, if at all, while the "the Catholic Church gave you the Bible, so she is what you must follow" assertion which precipitates these queries is so often employed?
Oh come on, the Catholics on this forum have answered every question that has been asked. Maybe not on every thread but you have been on many of them and if you say they haven’t then you need to search the threads or your conscience.
Our faith story begins at the beginning of time when God created the Earth until today. It cannot all be written in one thread on the internet that is why the RCIA process is so long, in some dioceses it goes for 2 years. The Church wants them to know what they are saying yes to, they don’t want blind followers but willing, knowledgeable disciples of Jesus.
I can’t even remember the name of the thread, something like the “Neverending” thread ran for years back about 1999. There were actually more than several people who converted to Catholicism because of them and even more lapsed Catholics who found their way back to the Mass and full Communion with the Church. I think the religion forum was started because of it.
That is not to say that bashers accept the answers but the questions have been answered and they won’t change the answers to make someone happy or agreeable. It is what it is because it is Truth.
I dare you to discuss your theology and see how many non-Catholic Christians agree with every doctrine and tenet, that is why there are so many denominations.
