If you’re looking for an argument or urinary contest, I have no interest. Got it???
Since I presume you can read, many teachings of the RC Church are articulated in the Catechism of any first grader.
Additionally they are detailed in the various Creeds.
As well the Britannica has voluminous information on the subject.
In plain and simple English, all Religion is ‘other worldly’ in focus; hence Faith is a prerequisite. One accepts and adheres to the teachings of one’s faith, all of them, or one doesn’t. As such, lists are absurd.

Logically speaking, one of those sentences doesn't belong next to the other one.

And stop trying to foment an argument here!

Again, if one accepts and adheres to its teachings one is a Roman Catholic; otherwise one is not.

In plain and simple English, all Religion is ‘other worldly’ in focus; hence Faith is a prerequisite. One accepts and adheres to the teachings of one’s faith, all of them, or one doesn’t. As such, lists are absurd.

Rather, the very teaching of the Roman Catholic church call for a list, since she herself places them in different levels, with corresponding degrees of required assent. But without a list then it leaves Catholics wondering if they must submit, for instance, to Climate Change being a grave crises as treated in the latest papal encyclical, and enables some to even reject parts of V2 teaching as forbidding dissent.

One one hand you have papal teaching that states that the one duty of the laity is to simply follow the pastors as docile sheep, and which basically includes all public papal teaching, and on the other hand you have those who pick and choose from such.

Note however that our disagreements here, even if critical, need not impugn many of your posts on other issues.
