Your entire post is irrelevant. We are not talking here about the personal” views of individuals based on polling data. We are speaking here about the Church founded by Christ with a Great Commission to teach ONE truth.

That infallible authority is what produced the authentic text of the written Word of God in the Synod of Rome AD 382 and for eleven centuries (until the Reformation) and since then has produced saints and martyrs and stigmatists and gave us the Catholic Credo and the teaching magisterium: The Catechism.

That infallible authority to promulgate ONE truth continues to the end of time. The rest are all heretical teachings. In the words of the great English essayist, Hillaire Belloc, unlike other heresies, Protestantism “spawned a cluster of heresies.” Just look around!

What blindness. Your propagandist assertion about the "Church founded by Christ with a Great Commission to teach ONE truth" is what is irrelevant, for as said, what one effects evidences what one believes, and the fruit of Rome overall is actually liberalism wherever she predominates.

And despite RCs here trying to relegate them as excommunicated, the reality is that Rome does not treat them as such, which actually fosters more of the same. This is your church, and these are your brethren, and you must own them.

Even if that was true, which it is not , then what would that argue for? That the being the historical instruments and stewards of Divine revelation (oral and written) means that Rome is that assuredly infallible magisterium. Thus any who knowingly dissent from the latter must be in rebellion to God? Yes? No?

since then has produced saints and martyrs and stigmatists

And cults have their mystics and "saints." But . For Rome is her own autocratic authority, while her own basis for that, that of the premise of perpetual ensured magisterial infallibility, is unScriptural, and unseen and unnecessary in the life of the church, as is her separate class of believers distinctively titled "priests," offering up "real" human flesh and blood as a sacrifice for sin, and literally consuming this to obtain spiritual life, around which act all else revolves, and looking to Peter as the first of a line of exalted infallible popes reigning over the church from Rome, and a separate class of believers distinctively titled "saints," and praying to created being in Heaven, and being formally justified by ones own sanctification/holiness, and thus enduring postmortem purifying torments in order to become good enough to enter Heaven, and saying rote prayers to obtain early release from it, and requiring clerical celibacy as the norm. Etc.

That infallible authority to promulgate ONE truth continues to the end of time.

Spare us the bombast, Perpetual ensured magisterial infallibility is never seen nor was it necessary in Scripture for the promulgation and preservation of Truth. Including which writings were of God. You simply have no argument, only parroted assertions.
