in other words, you follow Sacred Catholic Tradition!

I'll find no fault with any tradition of any church that finds support in scripture. I'll refute any tradition of any church that goes against it.

where is the canon of Scripture contained in Scripture? there was no need, because Jesus left a Church, His Body, the pillar of truth.
“i’ll refute any tradition of any church that goes against it” now that is Catholic doctrine!

Which Scripture? The Catholic, Orthodox, or Protestant one?

You're begging the question of whether Luther's canon of Scripture was determined infallibly.

Protestants tend to assume the truth of Luther's doctrine of Sola Scriptura. But that is what is in question in this thread.

If Luther didn't act infallibly in determining his canon of Scripture, then his doctrine of "the Bible alone" becomes incoherent, since there would exist no means by which anyone could determine what does and doesn't constitute sacred Scripture.

Here again, you have reaffirmed the original premise of the thread.

If one accepts Scripture and divinely inspired and inerrant in its truths, by whom or what authority does one accept it?

See my earlier post regarding the schizophrenia of thought it must take to say that the Church’s authority can be trusted in light of which books are Scriptural, yet is not to be trusted in other matters. Or that it takes to accept Scripture at all since no one, and there is no question of this, not a single one of us has come to that faith organically and on our own.
