It's fine to look to the implication of what he's saying as well. You can't just focus on whether or not something is explicitly said.
Would you agree or disagree that being Catholic is hard?
Doesn't this mean that following the teachings of Jesus is not easy and requires some genuine self-denial?
Well, exactly my point. Perhaps not everyone wants to live like that. Give me one good reason why I should place restrictions imposed by your or his religion on how I should live.
