These are your church's teachings. Not my opinion or any other Christian's....it's from the catholic church.
You can't defend it and you know it.
Here's a more fundamental truth for you: The protestant creates this interior sandbox they call sola scriptura filling it with all sorts of man-made presuppositions based on protestant 'reason'.
They then invite the Catholic into their sandbox. And with wailing and gnashing of teeth ask the question, "Why oh why aren't these toys in my sandbox?"
The Catholic, in charity, can only survey the interior landscape of the protestant mind and explain where those toys are and why they are missing.

Really? I don't see the phrase direct, categorical or stringent in Ineffabilis Deus
You can't defend it and you know it.
I can defend my Blessed Mother just fine, thank you. Enjoy the sandbox. I'm going to the beach with Mom.
