The RCC has always been one of the scriptures greatest enemies, as has been shown by your own distortion of them in these posts.

Perception is everything, I suppose. Yet you should know that Pope Benedict XVI effected a change this year in the Stations of the Cross that RCs make a part of their Easter observance; a rather controversial change (and upsetting for some): He removed all reference to Saint Veronica who, according to legend and Catholic tradition, out of loving compassion wiped the bloody visage of our Lord with her veil as he struggled under the crushing weight of His Cross along the Via Dolorosa.

The reason given: The traditional account of Saint Veronica does not have a scriptural basis.

But why this and not other/or all NoN scriptural tradition(s)?..
Must be some logic for this unique change and not others..

Thank you oh so very much for this wonderful insight:

Thank God for Pope Benedict XVI!

Not that St. Veronica should be dismissed, but he has made honored the difference between Scripture and tradition by this action - much like the Jews make a distinction between the Torah and the Talmud.

And when will the Pope gets rid of the Papacy, which also doesn't have any scriptural basis?
