19. All I know is what I learned in 14 years of Catholic school.

NO, according to Scripture, Jesus did not say “hate thy neighbor”. He turned the rich young man away with His “deal”: “go sell all you have, give the money to the poor, and then come follow Me.” And more. The Beatitudes, the Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 25:35-45 - the one about “whatever you do to the least of these...”

That stuff. It’s just what we learned in Catholic school. Is what it is. And it certainly can be (and IS!) debated as to authorship and what we’re told is “Divine inspiration,” interpretation, the filtering, the unbending dominant male bias and worldview, stewardship, decision-making, policy-making, and more.

Btw, as time goes by, I’ve become a bigger and bigger fan of Lady Gaga. I keep finding more to like about her.
