I don’t know where you get that anyone is discounting the word of God. We Catholics believe that all scripture is inspired by the Holy Spirit.
We also believe the Holy Spirit guides His Church in properly understanding the Word, as pointed out in the article, to avoid the confusion of doctrines (Doctrines of men) in the hundreds or even thousands of Protestant sects, none of which agree on many details, and which all claim to be based on Holy Scripture alone.
The remarkable thing is how much those non-Catholic Christians who believe in the role of Sacred Tradition have managed to share in common with Catholicism.
Whereas, Sola Scriptura believers are all over the map on basic tenets of the faith ranging from the Unitarians on one end of the spectrum to the Lutherans on the opposite extreme.
But the one thing that undergirds all Protestant theology is anti-Catholicism, so I think it is proper to call them all devout anti-Catholics.
Obviously these two views on what constitutes the Christian’s rule of faith are opposed to each other, and anyone who sincerely seeks to follow Christ must be sure that he follows the one that is true.
Neither of the two views presented are the true object of a believer's faith. Chasing one or the other immediately places the believer out of fellowship with God for it shifts the object of our faith away from Christ at the Cross.
The 2 views presented by the article are:
1) Teaching of the Church (RCC only), or
2)"Scripture alone," (which alleges that the Bible – as interpreted by the individual believer.)
Scripture alone is brought into the soul of the believer in fellowship with God through faith in Christ and the Word within is then used by God the Holy Spirit to sanctify the thinking of the believer via the human spirit perception of the soul thinking.
A believer who attempts to interpret independent of the work of the Holy Spirit is just as sinful as one seeking anything other than God.
Sola Scriptura doesn't promote independent interpretation. It instead emphasizes the believer must continually remain in fellowship with God through faith in Christ, allowing God the Holy Spirit to perform His work on the believer.
Scripture is one of the best sources to find the Word of God.
