So you’ve never broken the law, then, not even once?

Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do? Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.
John, Catholic chapter nineteen, Protestant verses twenty one to twenty two,
as authorized, but not authored, by King James

And complete your theology. How does Jesus humbling Himself to become a man and dying on the Cross fit in?

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver hath he hid me; And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified. Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nought, and in vain: yet surely my judgment is with the LORD, and my work with my God. And now, saith the LORD that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be my strength. And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.
Isaiah, Catholic chapter forty nine, Protestant verses one to six,
as authorized, but not authored, by King James

Otherwise, to complete your theology, try reading the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

You also left out part of Jesus’ conversation with the ruler, and only discuss part of it. Have you given all your riches away yet to follow Jesus?

Is this like when a certain lawyer, who once Jesus gave him the answer could not help himself but another question ? And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
Luke, Catholic chapter ten, Protestant verses twenty five to twenty nine,
as authorized, but not authored, by King James

As for your point that I also left out part of Jesus’ conversation with the ruler, who also could not help himself but ask another question, do you mean that you don't believe what Jesus said as it stands ? In any event I commend you for remembering the very catholic second part of that rich young ruler's conversation with the Lord. And it goes on and on, with works, works, works, yet I must stop the copy somewhere. But since you asked the question, as did the young man, I will copy it again with that question and more: And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Matthew, Catholic chapter nineteen, Protestant verses sixteen to twenty four,
as authorized, but not authored, by King James

*** So you’ve never broken the law, then, not even once?

“Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do? Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.” ***

That’s not an answer. If you won’t write in your own words an answer, including if you want to how this passage relates to perfectly keeping the law, then provide Catholic writing that does provide answers.
