I tell ya......the more you read about what catholics teach the further from the truth they get.
If you are serious about knowing what the Catholic Church actually teaches, one can read the Catechism online. If you prefer a book with an index, etc, it can be purchased.
Now, what one reads here from the original poster, is one person’s view, of what they think, the Catholic Church teaches. That’s like asking a man what women actually think. In other words, not very accurate.
