And there you see the problem with the Catholics. They equate their tradition and extrabiicak writings and increasingly heretical doctrines with Gods Word.

I don’t see that as a problem at all. That’s how Christianity started and how it has grown.

The fact that the children of “The Revision” scour the Bible for answers that aren’t there, and so invent them through novel interpretation apart from true historical, and might I add pre-literate, perspectives is why there are more Protestant sects than flavors of jelly beans.

If you don’t recognize that there are more catholic practices then jelly beans you don’t live in reality. And I’ll stick with Gods word over the inventions of the Catholic Church. Even Christ quoted scripture as the authority when answering questions, not the latest encyclicals of the scribes and Pharisees.

You should see some of the beliefs of Roman Catholics on these threads.
