But that's not the same as "trumping" is it?

Do you believe in such a thing as unwritten Scripture?

Post Scripture dogma certainly trumps Scripture does it not?

If not, please show me Scripture which supports the Bodily Assumption of Mary. (I'll not ask you to explain the "Scriptural Logic" which explains Papal Infallibility. That would be nasty.)

Scripture is sacred Tradition in convenient book form, it is not the source of a religion or faith, it is a teaching instrument Christ gave His Church. Sola scriptura is not a tenet of the Christian faith, never has been, so your request for scriptural support of any dogma is a preposterous notion. The question shouldn't’t be “where is that in Scripture” but “does it contradict scripture” and possibly “why is that held to be a dogma of the faith” all the while recognizing that it is the Church, established by Christ precisely for this purpose, that has the ultimate authority to teach.

I think you're misusing the concept of "trump".
