We're trying to occlude the Life of the Word? I can see how you might say that we do so inadvertently, but how you conclude that we're "trying" to hide the Life of the Word escapes me.
Whos the "We"?.. I did not target anybody specifically(on purpose)..
Tradition and the dead letter of the word can be universal..
"Sola Scriptura" can be either alive or dead..
The living word of God is alive no matter the source of it..
