Ahh, yas, the "False Challenge Tactic" :
——————————————————
WELCOME TO Catholic Responses 101
Techniques of the Apologist # 7:- The Faux Challenge tactic:
This is a really good one. Always have it handy and use it liberally. Always make it look like you are a sincere defender of truth. Please do not be actually sincere, but it is very important for Mother Church for you to LOOK sincere.
For example, regularly challenge non-Catholics:
Show me one error in all of Catholic dogma and I will leave the Catholic Church immediately.
——————————————————
Of course, because you have bought into the RCC's fables (including its self-proclaimed identity with true Christianity), you have to reject anything and everything that proves Catholicism to be erroneous.
Too bad.

Alright, but how is this any different from the Protestant who takes the exact same approach to the Bible?
Yes, the Bible is Theopneustos, but this is a Faith based claim, just like the infallibility of the Church is a Faith based claim. As there is no way to directly verify the claims of the Bible, we must accept that it teaches truth based on its Inspiration, which is itself a Faith based claim.
So when atheists produce alleged errors in the Scriptures, does the Protestant give up the Faith? No. The Protestant works to defend the Scriptures and attempt to show why the error is only apparent. And this, rightly so.
Catholics do the same for the Church.
So what is the difference?
Note: pointing out the tactic, while perhaps a useful apologetic trick in a debate---does not answer the question.
Maybe if Protestants would actually give a meaningful and substantive answer to the question, we Catholics would not keep asking it?
