Not all small-t traditions, but Sacred Tradition --- the kind St. Paul referred to--- is not refuted by anything you wrote in your last remarks.

You'll have to debate St. Paul on that.

Tagline.

Roman Catholics claim "Sacred Tradition" to support the Immaculate Conception do they not?

You'll have to debate St. Paul on that.

Actually, it is the Roman Catholic who has to debate Paul on this as they advance the belief "tradition" is equal to Scripture.

If I as a non-Catholic only rely upon Scripture I know I am on solid ground as Scripture is inspired and without error.

There is nothing in "Sacred Tradition" that is needed to understand salvation and how to obtain it.

However, the position of the Roman Catholic who equates "Sacred Tradition" with Scripture is on shaky ground as they are relying upon the opinion of the various ECFs.

As has been demonstrated in these threads the ECFs are in disagreement with each other on many of the issues near and dear to Rome. The Immaculate Conception as an example.

The current issues many Roman Catholics have with the current pope illustrate the reliance upon teachings other than found in Scripture.

Rome, through "Sacred Tradition" has added to what has been revealed in Scripture...in many cases contradicting Scripture.

Roman Catholicism has the same error in this case as Mormonism. Both have added "sacred" texts to Scripture that must be believed by their adherents.

Non-Catholics cannot fall into this error of adding to Scripture.

But many traditions out of Rome are.
