And we don't? Church Tradition (not tradition of men) is gorunded in Scripture. What the Church teaches can not be in conflict with the Scripture.

Shall I direct you to the post on another thread where someone makes the claim that the Catholics WROTE the scriptures. That's a hoot.

You are beginning to worry me. I don't think anyone would claim that the Church "wrote" the Scripture -- the Church selected the books that were to be included in the New Testament canon, twenty seven or so books out of an abundance of over 200 different sources pretending to be inspired. And it took the learned people of the Church some 350 years to accomplish that!

The Scripture on which the Church was founded was the Greek-language Old Testament (Septuagint, LXX), which you Protestants don't use, which was translated from Hebrew into Greek by 72 Alexandrian rabbis some 200 years before Christ was born.

But the New Testament is the product of the Church, and the Church teaching is in concordance with the Old Testament and the New Testament, you can be sure of that.
