"How convenient. No, many of your "Traditions" cannot contradict Scripture simply because they refer to events never mentioned in Scripture nor things, to our knowledge, ever taught by the Apostles. You can then cherrypick from the writings of the early Church Fathers to support these "Traditions"
Fine, if you can get away with it."

OLD REGGIE, you are being cynical. It's a big deal for a Church to not contradict Scripture on a single point. No Evangelical or Fundamentalist Christian believes that their community's teachings are completely without contradiction in Scripture. Everyone I see, at least on this forum, seems to be saying that they feel the doctrines of their community are flawed with respect to Scripture on some point, but they accept it as the best they can do.

Catholicism (Roman and Orthodoxy) are not like that. They simply don't contradict Scripture.

How about adding to Scripture? You can't contradict Scripture when you invent stuff not discussed in Scripture or taught by the Apostles can you?
