I never said that, I just asked you questions. Please don’t put words in my mouth, then argue against them. That’s a strawman argument.

You chose your previous answer poorly. Perhaps if you do more research you can choose better.

This is from Matthew 18, with which you should be intimately familiar. Compare it with the original posts and get back to me with what you believe about it, hopefully correcting others so they are not misled by your contention with me. Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican. Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

They were questions, not answers. If you don’t want to answer them, that’s fine.

“This is from Matthew 18, with which you should be intimately familiar. Compare it with the original posts and get back to me with what you believe about it, hopefully correcting others so they are not misled by your contention with me. “

Questions are contentions now?

Do I need to “claim ownership” of the previous poster’s arguments in order to ask you questions about one of your posts? Why would you care about my interpretation of Matthew 18 anyway, if it’s just going to be my private interpretation, which you would probably dismiss on that basis alone?

First of all, courtesy requires pinging someone you include in your post.

Second, your premise rests on an erroneous understanding of what the assembly of the body of Christ is. The concept the Catholic Church promotes as "church" does not exist in scripture. It is therefore impossible for a Catholic to understand what an assembly of believers consists of.
