it is obvious that you believe that when the last apostle died all revelation from and by the Holy Spirit died with them.
So all you have is what is written in the Bible, which you received from the Catholic Church.
The same Catholic Church which holds the original complete works, and oldest fragment of works of the books of the bible.
The same Catholic Church who voted on the Canon of the Bible and who accepted the very books you read and rejected the ones you don’t.
The same Catholic Church who translated the bible from the original Greek and Aramaic texts into Latin via St Jerome.
The same Catholic church who copied and recopied the bibles BY HAND through the dark ages.
The same Catholic Church who printed the Bible (Gutenberg was a Catholic); but, probably unknown to you, that there had already been three or four printed versions of the Latin/German bible PRIOR to Gutenberg.
The same Catholic Church whose Councils defended early Christians against all heresies, which they did in writing and for which there is a printed record.
So today, I make and say The Sign of The Cross, repeat the Nicean Creed, sing the Sanctus, hold a Crucifix, gaze upon pictures of icons that are still today in the catacombs in Rome - all whose origins are from the 1st Century AD.
In addition, I read the writings of Clement of Rome, Mathetes, Polycarp, Ignatius, Barnabas, Papias, Justin Martyr, Irenaeus; all who wrote in the First Century.
In addition, I read the bible and hear more Scripture read at Mass everyday, than most protestants hear in Church in a month of Sundays (I know this from personal experience and complaints from protestant friends.)
However, your protestant predecessors have thrown out: the Sign of the Cross, the Crucifix, Latin prayers, the Mass, Icons, the books of the Apocrypha, prayers to the saints, the writings of the Early Church Fathers, the list is endless - all of that thrown away.
I believe to be protestant is to be dead to history; since everything that was thrown out was also history - your history.
The protestants have a shell of a faith left over - it is no wonder they love the Bible - it is the only thing they have.
For The Greater Glory of God
For the greater glory of God would be acknowledging HIS work in providing Scripture and preserving it.
Not taking credit for the Catholic church doing it.
And that is taught where in Scripture?
Have you found the epistle which addresses Mary’s intercessory role? How the sign of the cross and other traditions was thrown in the mix is unknown to me other than an admission you cannot find such scriptural evidence.
