The simple fact is you charged our authorities with harboring a self-serving intent.
A simple apology will suffice, brother.
I didn't say that you specifically did refer to sola scriptura as superstition. I was responding to one who did and you asked why and I answered.
I did. I often do. A bit harsh, -- I know this is a belief sincerely held, -- but not harsher than calling veneration of saints and images idolatry, Protestant stock in trade.
It is a superstition because it elevates a part of the created world to a supernatural status without a rational sanction. Things would be different if the Holy Scripture itself contained the doctrine in question.
