Why don't we call this Thread: A Quick Ten-Step Refutation of Scripture"

No kidding. They have the catechism, the scripture is just redundant, confusing and must be explained by the magesterium via the catechism any way.

Have you even bothered to look up my reference?

[Cronos]

Evidently, neither have read the first paragraph of this article

it says clearly that Catholics agree with Protestants that Scripture is a "standard of truth" -- for us whatever is in Scripture is true, irrefutably so. One cannot change scripture, one cannot remove books or verses from it (Maccabees etc), one cannot contradict it.

The article title is a refutation of SOLA..

For us Christians here in Christ's Church, the One Holy Apostolic Catholic Church (Catholic, Orthodox,Oriental, Assyrian), scripture is scripture -- it can never be redundant unlike in some Protesting groups like the Mormons or JWs.

Just as your pastor or which ever books you read help you understand a particular verse or passage, so too does the CCC aid in this understanding. Every argument you make on any Christian doctrine is "interpreted" from some reading you may have made elsewhere or by listening to some pastor or commentary or by listening to other Christians.

Which came first: the Faith or the NT Scripture?

[Jvette]

Scripture is referenced throughout the catechism.

The catechism is merely the guide to a Catholic understanding of Scripture and Tradition.

It is disingenuous for any protestant to assert that he/she has come to Scriptural understanding alone, without the teaching or guidance of any others;IOW, an explanation of what they are reading. If not, why go to church, why have a minister?

The eunuch says to Phillip when he is asked if he understands what he is reading, “How can I lest someone explain it?”
