In response to my statement:
“Without the Holy Scriptures the Catholic Church is nothing.”

“This is plainly not true. With or without the Scripture the sacraments of the Church remain and the institutions of the Church remains. All that happens is that written teaching becomes oral teaching.”
Your reasoning is pretty close to that of the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of Israel as they debated the meaning of the Holy Scriptures with Jesus. That didn’t work out so well for them as I seem to recall. But maybe, like Nancy Pelosi, you’re convinced that the problem of Roman teaching is just one of communication not substance. Enjoy the delusion while it lasts.
Now, didn’t you just long for reason in debate? Re-read you post, and improve on it, with that in mind, please.
