[Campion]

This what the early church father Iraeneous taught when he stated that if a new believer were to hear heresy being spoken from the pulpit the Holy Spirit would move him to plug his ears and go running from the church.

I don't know how you get sola scriptura from that.

But Irenaeus also taught that, if you wanted to be sure your doctrine was sound, you should compare it to the doctrine taught in the See of Rome.
