Prove what? That the Risen Lord has a heart and blood flowing through it? If that is what your are referring to, I think that you will have to prove that He does not have a heart or blood flowing through it, since that is a very odd position to take, one that few Christians would hold.

Or are you referring to something else?

My last statement to you is a fact, Catholics interpret the Sacred Scriptures through the eyes of Faith, which is a gift of the Holy Spirit, that they received in Baptism. They use their human reason in conjunction with the gift of Faith, and generally speaking human reason can only be rightly used as a negative rule of Faith, human reason can rightly rule things out that do not belong to the Faith.

What I see here on FR and elsewhere, protestants start with their human reason as a positive rule of Faith, hence when they read the Sacred Scriptures the reason, which is fallible, becomes a positive guide of their faith. Hence they get so many things wrong, even though they spend years and years studying the Bible, they even study Greek and Hebrew (never Latin) with the hopes of becoming expert in their exegesis, but they come to many disparate positions on many points of faith.

One thing they tend to all agree on is that there is not one central authority who has been tasked with safeguarding and transmitting the sacred deposit of Faith left to us by the Apostles.

By the way, those same Apostles are all buried in Catholic Churches around the world, not one is buried in a protestant church. As the book of Revelation 21:14 tells us, “And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them, the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.” I have seen the grave of St James in Santiago, St. Thomas is buried in a cathedral in India that was miraculously spared from the tsunami, St. Mark is in Venice, St. Peter is in Rome, etc...We know where all of the Apostles are buried because they are part of our holy family of God’s Love, the New Jerusalem coming down out of heaven.

Yes, that statement.

So far you have posted an opinion, not a fact. If it’s a fact, proce it.

That has worked well...

Not to mention the great leveling field of learning the Catechism so well.
