In general is simplicity one of the "fruits" of truth?

Has this ever happened to you?

When I read Catholic writers and arguments, everything seems to make sense and is so… simple. However when I read moral arguments and things form other religions I can’t wrap my head around it and it seems to be a lot more confusing. Is Catholicism simple because it’s truth? Or is it just how I interpret things?
 
I listen to a protestant denomination radio station and they’ll get way out in the weeds on their arguments.

I think it’s because in Catholicism, the Sacraments are so easily understood and matched to human behavior.

When you sin, admit it to yourself. You want to stop sinning, make yourself admit your sins to another person. 😃
 
Simplicity is an important philosophical and scientific criterion of truth. It combines both economy and coherence. Belief in God, for example, is supremely “parsimonious” and yet it is also comprehensive in relating the different aspects of reality.
 
Simplicity is probably an attribute of God, since He is not a composite in the sense that He is not composed of parts as human beings are. Even angels have a composition of both essence and existence, whereas God is pure existence itself. Therefore, He is simple in the metaphysical sense. So, certainly, simplicity is the truth of God’s nature.
