Do not characterize what I “feel.”
I BELIEVE that if it CONTRADICTS Scripture then it should be rejected. You evidentally believe there is more to Scripture than what is currently in the Canon.
Either way, the subject was the worship of Mary. Introducing a debate on the Canon is a red herring. IOW, you are trying to change the subject, as you are doing with introducing Luther, the Councils and anything else you want to chant in your well-memorized mantras. I dont’ challenge you. I ignore something that was irrelevant to the discussion at hand.
No, the subject is that you believe that only the Bible defines the Church! I believe, as do all Catholics, in Scripture, Sacred Tradition and the Magisterial Teachings of the Church. YOU believe in only the Bible. Therefore, you have cut off two legs of the structure of the Church as Christ gave it to us!
That, then, makes my point very relevant. The Early Church relied on both written AND on oral tradition. I can prove it with Scripture as can Dave Armstrong or any apologist on this Board. So, why do you damn or strike down something from Tradition when you don’t believe it in the first place?
Plus, the book you base your soul on for all of your Faith cannot define itself! It was not meant to stand alone. It didn’t in Judaism either.
That is my point. YOPIOS.
