I have read much, far from all, of the works of Augustine and cannot find a single instance where he says "Tradition", The Church", or anything else trumps Scripture. Can you?

Of course not Reggie, you know as well as anyone that the Church believes Scripture is revealed truth and can not be "trumped" St. Augustine as a good Catholic would cleave to this teaching.

But Scripture cannot stand on it's own. Can it?

CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH

95 "It is clear therefore that, in the supremely wise arrangement of God, sacred Tradition, Sacred Scripture and the Magisterium of the Church are so connected and associated that one of them cannot stand without the others. Working together, each in its own way, under the action of the one Holy Spirit, they all contribute effectively to the salvation of souls."
