The Pharisees in Jesus day said many of the same “we have the history and traditions”. We also know how Christ viewed them.
CynicalBear:
Ok, whatever that means, I am not a pharisee, I am a Catholic and the folks that I am quoting are orthodox Church Fathers who defended the true faith against every heretical notion [Gnostics, Modalist, Montanist, Adoptionist, Subordinationist, Arians, Nestorians, Monophsites, etc, etc, etc]. These Same Church Fathers are the ones who helped shape the NT Canon and are the same ones whose scriptural commentaries I am referring to and citing. If these Men were correct in their Christological and Trinitarian writings, and they are, then I would conjecture their writings regarding the Holy Mother of God are also correct compared to your posts.
