>>Actually, no they don’t.<<

Of course they do. Paul said if they didn't teach it that it was to be considered accursed. If Catholics teach it they must show that the apostles taught it.

>>Show me where the Catholic Church “admits” that?<<

I just did.

>>Please show me the Vatican statement or council decree whereby the Catholic Church says that the 1909 American made Catholic Encyclopedia is in fact “the Catholic Church” and therefore anything in it would constitute “the Catholic Church’s own admission” about anything.<<

Prove that what is in that Encyclopedia is refuted by the Catholic Church. Show where they renounce statements or beliefs claimed there in.

>>You have not even proved anyone is claiming it is in itself believed by anyone to be part of a gospel teaching to begin with.<<

Then Catholics are no different then Muslims or Mormons in that they go by writing other than scripture. We can simply put them all in the same class.

“Of course they do.”

No, they don’t.

“Paul said if they didn’t teach it that it was to be considered accursed.”

Have you yet proved they did not teach it?

“If Catholics teach it they must show that the apostles taught it.”

No. You, however, must prove that there is a verse that shows Matthew wrote an inspired book because you believe in sola scriptura.

“I just did.”

Nope. You completely failed.

“Prove that what is in that Encyclopedia is refuted by the Catholic Church. Show where they renounce statements or beliefs claimed there in.”

The statement need not be refuted because constant usage shows it to not be correct. Whoever wrote the article either made a typographical error or made the same logical error many Protestants do. I, and others here at FR, have pointed out before that the oCE is good, but not perfect.

“Then Catholics are no different then Muslims or Mormons in that they go by writing other than scripture.”

That logically follows nothing that was said so I have no idea where you’re even getting that.

“We can simply put them all in the same class.”

We can logically put Protestants in that class since they, like Mormons and Muslims also have a sola scriptura belief no matter how much all three deviate from it in practice on a daily basis.
