God’s word vs. manmade tradition. Tell me which results from pride.

The key word, of course, is "man made".

Why is the Scriptural teaching of the Church fathers and the Magisterium "man made" tradition, yet when Joe Bloggs picks up the Bible and reads it, it's not "man made". It's somehow an authentic understanding of God's word?

But I digress.

What about the fruits of this approach? Do you see no disunity?

Because Joe Bloggs doesn’t pray to dead human beings, including elevating the mother of the Lord to the status of virtually the Fourth Person of the Trinity.

So what if Joe reads a Bible? Don’t Catholics read the Bible?
