And I happen to agree that scripture trumps “tradition.” Plenty of those traditions have been found to be pagan or unsupported. Take a look at what happened to St. Christopher.

Nothing happened to St. Christopher. Are you one of those people who erroneously believes he is no longer a saint or no longer considered a saint?

“In no way did the Church “de-canonize” St. Christopher or anyone else, despite the lack of historical evidence surrounding their lives. St. Christopher is still worthy of our devotion and prayers, and each of us should be mindful that he too is called to be a “bearer of Christ.” “

I wish there were more Protestants that took Scripture seriously. It seems that divorce among Christians has become de rigeur.
