"It seems the Scripture’s PLAIN wording isn’t enough."

Of course it isn't or God would not have added to the revealed Word of God through Apostolic tradition and subsequent revelation.

Here we have it folks, in black and white..... Catholics believe that God's Word isn't enough.

Funny, the apostles seemed to think differently.....2 Timothy 3:16 7 17/b> All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

That takes chutzpah.

Words not posted by a Catholic and deceptively posted here as if they were.

As for the words in Timothy. No Catholic disputes that all of Scripture is inspired of God and contains all that is needed to know of Jesus and of His saving sacrifice.

"Catholics believe that God's Word isn't enough."

Show me where I or any other Catholic ever said that. (I have pointed out the concept of bearing false witness, though). What I said was that Scripture doesn't contain 100% of the revealed Word of God. Do I need to use smaller words to get that point across?

Of course, as before, IF inidividual Proddys and RC's are NOT AT ALL guilty of any of the above, THEN such an exhortation is not for you. Let each person examine himself--before it's too late.

Oh, friend, that is not so. I may be a rank beginner here, but I think that it is not that at all. It is that Catholics believe that man does need help and guidance from the Church, lest he go astray. We humans are all so fallible.
