I believe in an Apostolic Church.

The Apostles said to stick with the teachings that we have read and have heard. There are no more Apostles so I need to stick with what I can read. Sola Scriptura. QED!

Now answer the question... Can the Catholic Church be wrong? Yes or no.

The Catholic Church does so add to scripture. In fact, they justify it with the same verses I use to justify sola scriptura.

There was nothing written except for the OT when the Apostles said this. In fact, the NT didn't exist until the 400s or so.

The Apostles said to stick with the teachings that we have read [= SCRIPTURE-namely, the Old Testament, since the New Testament was not yet in written form, it was only in oral tradition]and have heard [heard= ORAL TRADITION, definitely NOT written scripture.] There are no more Apostles so I need to stick with what I can read. Sola Scriptura. QED!

Oh my, doesn't it hurt your pretty little head to be so publicly confused? Which is it you follow? Only the Old Testament Scripture, or Scripture plus the teachings they have heard, i.e., Apostolic Tradition?

Define "wrong."

This revolves around your understanding of "infallibility." I have found that anti-Catholics generally do not understand the concept the way it is taught.

I honestly doubt you understand the concept.

You've unwittingly hopped into the boat of a one-armed-boat rower and will find yourself going in circles for hours.

If you keep riding in that boat while refusing to side with him against the eeeevil Capitalists and agree with him in his religious beliefs, you will be treated to a tantrum like you have never witnessed in your life --- a screaming, yelling fit that is hilarious to behold. I can provide you examples of it from my personal PC archives, if you like.

The examples won't be under the same screen names, however. I see this screen name just signed up today, but I recognize the M O. Hahahahaha
