I must say I agree with my Balkan Mountain Bandit Brothers on this one FK. I think what you are missing are the respective phronema, or mindsets or worldviews, of the two particular churches within The Church which we are members of. Though these phronemai actually are quite different, and that difference plays itself out in our theology and how we speak about these matters, our views of the integration of the Scriptures within Holy Tradition are at base identical, at least in any way a non Latin Rite or Eastern Christian would view things.
OK. If the Catholic and Orthodox representatives on this thread are in agreement, then I suppose I'm not exactly in a position to argue about it. :) I'm sure that you are right that I just don't have the background, and, that's why I'm here and I am appreciative of what I have learned.
