You can find all this in Scripture? Where?

Most can be found in the old and new testament. The difference between Protestants and the RC is “Tradition”. I believe there is reference the new Testament that not everything that Jesus taught could be contained in the Canonized Bible (you can’t find the word Bible in the Scripture, either). The remainder is what is called “Tradition” with a capital “T”. That would be what was passed verbally among the Apostles who passed those verbal teachings from first-hand experience to the Church Fathers. Those are things like who was who at the Crucifixion. Those are what the Magisterium of the Church protects as much as the written Scripture, itself. We’re talking about what the Apostles knew first hand and passed from their mouths to those they taught. So far as I can tell the only thing you won’t find in scripture is the Good Thief’s name. That would have been passed from those at the foot of the crosses to those who believed. I assume you would accept a first-hand account of an eye witness but, if not, then you’ll have to go with the guy on the left or the right, depending on your perspective.
