I do find it interesting that most of your sources are not even close to being Catholic. . . yet you claim to know so much about the Catholic Church. Have you studied the Council of Nicea? This is what the Council of Ephesus is a continuation of. . .and helped to strengthen those statements of faith solidified in Nicea. Councils are not centers of faith. . .
Did you know that Martin Luther wanted to throw out most of the New AND OLD Testaments because they didn't follow with his views of Christianity? Did you know that there is NOTHING in the Bible to support Sola Scriptura or Sola Fidai (sorry, my Latin is VERY poor - I'm refering to the protestant teaching of Faith Alone).
Think on these and your sources before jumping to conclusions about Catholicism. St. Augustine is a good one as is anything by St. Dominic, Catherine of Sienna, any Dominican for that matter, etc. are good places to start. For lighter reading, I would highly recommend the Catholic Answers website at catholic.com

P.S. I apologize for being involved in the severely off-topic discussion going on. I attended a Catholic college as an undergrad and so Greek like and Christianity was never an issue.
