if youre genuinely interested, i can take a break from shitting down prottie throats and give you some useful info. Read about the Essenes, they wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls and were a proto-Christian Gnostic group

Yes I am genuinely interested, but that's even more confusing. Gnosticism was has been quite consistently denounced by the church as a heresy. How can you consider yourself a Catholic while also taking inspiration from a Gnostic group?
I have heard of the Essenes, but haven't read much about them. The similarities to Christianity are quite striking, so I will take your advice and study them more.
