As a Catholic with neoplatonist sympathies, degrees in theology and philosophy, I may be able to help. Largely, it's because Plato demonstrates certain truths by reason alone (e.g. immortality of the soul, reality of universals) but can't always adequately explain them, hence dialogues often ending in aporia. Certain things remain unclear in his works (is the Good a form, or above being somehow?) and some metaphysical postulates are clunky.
If you're allowed to place the forms into the mind of the One who is the Good, things start to make more sense. I really recommend Augustine's works (specifically De Trinitate) and the Pseudo-Dionysian corpus if you want a better grip on things.
