Just a quick addition before I give a longer reply (which might take a day or two): apologies if I came across as brusque; I was trying to give my unmediated reaction because I figured it’d be a more accurate simulation of how smart Catholic readers would internally react. In a different context I wouldn’t have e.g. just glossed over the fact that you’ve been thinking about these issues in good faith for the last two years or so.
