But not just scripture. That would be fine, but you use a lot of writings that don’t have Biblical authority. Since you don’t believe in sola scriptura, I don’t see how you can have any authority outside of it.

Ok, let's talk about Sola Scriptura. I hold, as the Catholic Church holds, that Sola Scriptura is a self-refuting doctrine.

Let's start with the most obvious reason why: the doctrine of Sola Scriptura is not taught anywhere in the Bible.

Think about that. There is not one verse anywhere in the Bible in which Sola Scriptura is taught, and it therefore becomes a self-refuting doctrine.

How do resolve this problem in your mind?
