Every time Christ referenced tradition, it was to denounce it

Yes, because he created His own.

defaming the Scriptures

No Catholic defames the scripture. Luther, however, was happy to remove books from it, and intentionally lied in his "translation" of it.

In think you are being fast and loose with Christ’s assertions.

He was emphatically harsh with !!!!TRADITIONS!!!! of man and with bureaurcratic hierarchical

RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS, GROUPS.

I suppose you could call the Lord’s Supper a tradition.

My reading of the NT is that Christ went out of His way to avoid all hint and trappings of

STRUCTURED, !!!!TRADITION!!!! BOUND, HIERARCHICAL, BUREAUCRATIC RELIGION AND RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS.

Paul wasn’t that thrilled with such either.
