A good example based on the writings of early Christians would be public confession of sins in front of many. It’s not a stretch to think this was learned from the Apostles by TRADITION
So, if this an Apostolic Tradition, why doesnt Rome accept it?
Sounds like a guess to me. In any event, this "tradition" is roughly based on scripture.
Acts 19:18
Many of those who believed now came and openly confessed their evil deeds.James 5:16
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
1.This is not Apostolic Tradition that is apparently binding for anyone, even Rome!
RC apologists keep screaming were missing the Oral Tradition. Where's the beef?
2.If this is unwritten Apostolic Tradition, I should be unable to find a biblical reference, correct?
It is acceptable and I just came across a Catholic retreat that does this for those who want to give public confession.
There is nothing that permits public confessions in Church teaching
I can understand why private confession is allowed as well because the modern world is too judgmental and there ae too many cafeteria Catholics who might use these confession to hurt someone.
The Holy Spirit protects the flock even in the modern world,dear friend
Only prideful people are afraid of confession anyway!
