[ The christian life must be lived not learned / You can make the same remark to someone who supports Sola Scriptura. ]

To the contrary.. thats what Sola Scriptura teaches..
Its true that Sola Scriptura causes some to worship the Bible as a Talisman.. as some worship the church or other christians as talismans or totems.. with amulets..

It takes the Holy Spirit to even grasp deep biblical truths..
Without the Holy Spirit the orthodox or "reformed" go into the ditch..
And see the flesh as an extension of the spirit/Spirit..

OK. I can go along with that. This is why I listen to the Magisterium.
