Hmm, I don't have my handy-dandy reference sheet, on exactly which teaching and saying were ex-cathedra, or otherwise infallible. Is it safe to assume all major teachings, ordinances, practices, etc., are from infallible teachings? Is the Catechism an infallible teaching?

"The Church affirms that for believers the sacraments of the New Covenant are necessary for salvation. ’Sacramental grace’ is the grace of the Holy Spirit, given by Christ and proper to each sacrament."

“One who desires to obtain reconciliation with God and with the Church, must confess to a priest all the unconfessed grave sins he remembers after having carefully examined his conscience.”

[Campion]

Is it safe to assume all major teachings, ordinances, practices, etc., are from infallible teachings? Is the Catechism an infallible teaching?

No. Practices are never infallible. The Catechism itself is not infallible (though it asserts truths which have previously been taught infallibly).

What passages in Scripture do you think are contradicted by the Catechism passages you cite?

[Hermann the Cherusker]

“One who desires to obtain reconciliation with God and with the Church, must confess to a priest all the unconfessed grave sins he remembers after having carefully examined his conscience.”

"Whose sins YOU forgive, they are forgiven them, whose sins YOU retain, they are retained." (St. John 20.23)

What was your objection again?
