They NEVER conflict, ever. There is, however, a tendency for Protestants to imprint Catholic doctrines with their own perceptions and misunderstandings of what they think or want the Church to be. No area is greater than the topic of Apostolic Tradition. Protestants carry on like Catholics believe that the Tradition is another Gospel or an alternative to Scripture. Recall that it was this Apostolic Tradition that the Church discerned which writings are to be included in the Bible.
Tradition only explains, clarifies, and augments Scripture, filling in the blanks and connecting the dots. It resolves apparent conflicts. It never contradicts Scripture, ever.
To think that Protestantism is without its own traditions is either naive or disingenuous. Protestant arguments that Scripture Alone is the ONLY thing that must be considered is negated by the myriad of Protestant books, sermons, catechisms, and websites. Protestants do not reject Tradition, they only reject the authority of the Church.
My no response policy hasn’t changed.
No we don't...We carry on like we know that your tradition is another gospel, an alternative to scripture...

Pitiful...Scripture explains and clarifies all the scripture you will ever read...
There are no blanks or connecting dots that do not connect...Your tradition creates conflicts, it doesn't resolve anything...And it definitely contradicts scripture...

Your religion has no authority over Christians and especially not the scriptures...Jesus is the Head...Jesus is the authority...And we have the words of Jesus, preserved to and thru his disciples ultimately put into a medium where we can say, 'it is written'...What person seeking Jesus would reject those words in favor of your made up tradition???
Really? Then why does SCRIPTURE teach that there is one mediator between God and man, the man Jesus Christ (paraphrase of 1 Tim. 2:5) and the Roman Catholic Catechism teaches that Mary is a "co-mediatrix"??
Sounds like they run afoul to me....
