I'm out of my league when I've actually read the entire Catechism? I'm not a Catholic yet it's on my bookshelf.
What about the Monita Secreta? Do you have a copy or even know what it is without doing an Internet search?
And as far as claiming I'm out of my league, here's a sentence from your Catholic.com article-
The Bereans, we’re told, were mainly Jews (and some Greeks), not Christians, and they even had a Jewish synagogue.
All Christians worshipped at synagogues in those times. The Scriptures were the Old Testament at that time and there was only one place to study them (books were costly when they were handwritten), which was a synagogue.
So, no, I don't reject Paul. In fact, he teaches the story of salvation as found in the Old Testament. The Book of Hebrews is a masterpiece.
In fact, you're the one who disagrees with Paul. Paul's message to the Romans contains something you need to hear, with your talk about the Jews having killed Christ.
Romans 11:16-26
16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

Looky, looky, shifting goal posts again?!
What about tradition? Are you just going to ignore what he teaches on tradition?
I love how this turned from "it's the Jesuits!" and when you couldn't prove that, you go on to shit on the Church Jesus Christ established on Earth.
Please try to follow the bouncing ball.
TRADITION is Biblical. Rejecting it is anti-Biblical.
