You have no more idea of what is true for Catholics than a burp in a windstorm!

You aren't Catholic.  You aren't acquainted with spirituality---which is an emphasis on establishing/maintaining a relationship with God.  Academic theology is deductive and can be debated back and forth.  But spirituality, deals with a relationship with God as a Person, and how an individual can trace God's relationship with them.  It's very personal.


BTW---I've been teaching since I was a 15-year-old kid {catechesis}.  I am a senior now.  I can read and sense FEAR in a writer!
