“So that’s why my advice to you is, as always: in matters Catholic, ASK us, do not TELL us, what we can and cannot do.”

The problem with your request is that while Romans may know what you believe as a Roman, no roman has demonstrated:

1. Knowledge of the Scriptures sufficient to evaluate the implications of that truth claim,
2. nor a foundation of systematic theology to see what the result is when you stake out that position
3. Nor an objective seeking after truth, rather than justification of Rome’s teaching.

All of these are crucial.

And each person here pursues the conversation as they believe Best.

Asking only reveals *your view/understanding* of Roman teaching, and not what may be true or important.

I would also add that asking Catholics about their beliefs or relating how one reads and understands the written documents that state those beliefs shouldn't be out-of-bounds for a non-Catholic to bring up on a Religion Forum thread. This is especially true when you think about the claims Catholicism has made of being in authority over all Christians.
