the undeniable fact is that without the Catholic Sacred Tradition, we would have no way of knowing which books are scripture and which are not.
when the Church set the canon ( and yes folks, the Church did set the 27 book NT canon ), one of the criteria used was “did the book teach anything contrary to the sacred apostolic tradition the Church received”
if the answer was yes, the book was REJECTED.
put another way, since there is not an inspired table of contents for the Bible, “sola scriptura” can’t be the basis for the canon of Scripture, therefore the “sola” is done away with concerning the Bible itself.
Sola Scriptura – All doctrine and teaching must be proven by scripture and scripture cannot contradict itself or be historically inacurate.
Exactly. Holy Scripture is a work product of Tradition. What was not true according to Church teaching was rejected from the canon.
It really is a logical fail to believe the Church exercised it’s authority to establish a canon that says the Church does not have the authority to establish the canon.
