Pegleg, get your nose out of the RC handbook and into THE BOOK of books, or you will miss the Truth and be left out in the end. I beg of you.

It's when I put my nose in the BOOK of books that I left my Southern Baptist faith and became a Catholic. I am now walking in the Truth and I will beg you to seek the same.

The Catholic/Orthodox posters have the history, tradition and witness of the early church from the time of Christ to the present.

And

no Catholic will deny that doctrine most certainly develop

So you are agreeing that the Tradition is not static but changes and develops. Thus, you are agreeing that Tradition does not equal the oral tradition of the 1st century. Have I got it right so far?

When did your Church hold it's first council?

Acts. (If you keep throwin underhanded, I'm gonna keep hammerin em) And I'm having a Miss Cleo moment...
