If the oral tradition of Catholics results in doctrine (vs scripture), then Catholics need to show the oral tradition is as good as scripture for teaching, etc - IF they want others to take it seriously.
If we agree that scripture is God-breathed, but you claim oral tradition is also needed, then the ball is in your court - WHY do you believe that? What makes you think an unspecified oral tradition of uncertain origin is of comparable value to the God-breathed words of scripture?

Guarantee the response will be "it's your interpretation". The magisteria can never declare as doctrine ANYTHING that would contradict Scripture - therefore they will twist it, turn it, pull a part here, pull a part there, and viola Scripture will SAY what they say it says...got it?

It's all right there in Scripture.
