***Scripture and Tradition must be accepted and honored with equal sentiments of devotion and reverence.***

A prime example of the bad theology that is coming up.

Didn't find that in the Bible, either.

Catholic tradition and scripture frequently contradict, and the church decision always favors tradition.

So much for “honored with equal sentiments.”

You might reply that Protestants do the same thing, except we favor scripture instead of tradition. That’s true, but we don’t have (or even pretend to have) the “equal sentiments” nonsense.

Just a question out of curiosity - in Catholic doctrine, is the magisterium a third, co-equal source of truth, or does it fit in some other way?
