Agreed. Every word of Sacred Scripture is true.
Dogma is a 4-letter word these days but essentially means what we’ve realized to be true about the Faith from the beginning - divinely given. Gives us sure rock (petros/kepha Matt 16:18) to stand on. Though, even clergy are frequently wolves in sheep’s clothing so we must be wary. The tares with with wheat as Jesus said. Hence I am very sympathetic to what others see as dictates spouted from men of the cloth that smell to high heaven - it happens a lot and saddens me because eternal souls are lost by it. Cling to the Faith of our Fathers/Apostles/Scripture.
A good primer for you may be “The Case for Catholicism” by Trent Horn.
Godspeed, brother!
