[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

The Catholic Church predates Scripture. Your analysis fails.

So, essentially having failed by argumentation to show the equality of tradition with Scripture, you fall back on tradition. That's called circular reasoning.

And it's not even factually correct, since what is now "the Catholic Church" evolved over a period of several centuries, only arriving at a more or less recognisable form after the time of Augustine.

Essentially? I did not claim to be showing by argumentation the equality of Tradition and Scripture.

Absurd. The acorn and the oak tree are the same plant.
