“...unless those traditions align with scripture”

A rather important caveat...

The fact that they might not align with YOUR interpretation of Scripture DOES NOT mean that they don't align with Scripture.

Fine. SHOW me WHY my interpretation is wrong.

But when someone takes a verse in Luke and fixates on the past perfect participle in Greek to suggest scripture teaches Mary was sinless, or uses 1 Corinthians 3 to teach Purgatory (which even the NAB commentators admit wasn’t the purpose), or pulls indulgences out of thin air - then I reserve my personal right to adhere to the plain teaching of scripture.
