Here’s the problem to refuting Sola Scriptura: you’ve just opened the door to all those that want to “phase out” the parts of the Bible they don’t like, i.e. homosexual conduct.

“phase out” the parts of the Bible"

Never crossed my mind. I'm trying to phase in its clear reference to Tradition.

Here is the problem with accepting Sola Scriptura. You have just opened the door to private interpretation and its product is over 30.00 diffuse Protestant denominations in the USA. Sola Scripture allows for any prideful interpretation and the history of Sola Scriptura has sanctioned just that type of behavior.

Dear DS, refuting SOLA scriptura does not mean the same as junking/debunking scripture. Do read the article. it starts off saying that Catholics agree with Protestants that Scripture is a "standard of truth"—even the preeminent one But no biblical passage teaches that Scripture is the rule of faith in isolation from the Church and Tradition

Holy Tradition cannot contradict scripture, hence gays in the ECUSA which violates scripture are wrong.

one refutes only SOLA not scriptura :)
