that so much of what they (the Church) say is true:

Much and I don't doubt that one bit, not all, much of what the Catholic Church says is based on its tradition. When Catholics claim inerrancy for something that isn't the inspired Word of God and then base doctrine on it, it remains error.

The question is where does one turn for the unvarnished Word of God? The proper course is to use Scripture to check what you are being taught, ala Bereans.

Scripture and Tradition == scripture and tradition as I've said before, do not contradict each other. Furthermore, a lot of the basis of non-Church Christian thought IS based on tradition too -- right from the idea of th trinity downwards.

Which is what Marcion did too -- remember.
