Exactly... specifically stating they “let go”..”set aside”.. Gods commands in order to “hold onto” the traditions of men.

They want both, but Jesus clearly teaches you cannot have both Gods commands and mens traditions. When they hold onto their traditions they (states Christ) “nullify the word of God by their 'TRADITIONS' you have “'HANDED DOWN'.”

Many traditions are handed down thru the centuries but it does seem within the catholic church along the way they become dogma or commands as each popes might determine....as well as the authors of written works handed down. It has been an endless line of written material confusing even their own.

There was a thread here I read of dicussion over if meat was allowed now on Fridays or not in the Catholic faith. I was astounded that none could agree if allowed or not...one said yes the other said no and then the standard where do we go to find out. Stunning really! Becuase if this could not be known or agreed upon what then of the larger matters of their faith?

A clear answer was given on that thread. It is not true, to say that "none could agree if allowed or not." But, perhaps your understanding is that of a child.
