What do you call a theology that demands proof?

Do you believe everything that someone says about God that comes down the pike just because they say so?

2 Timothy 3:14-17 14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it 15 and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

Are you saying then, that Catholicism doesn't appeal to Scripture to support any of it's doctrines? Like the papacy, the perpetual virginity of Mary, transubstantiation, infant baptism, etc?

No, some people I never believe, but I always believe the Magisterium.

No, I'm saying that Catholicism doesn't appeal exclusively to Scripture.

Peace be with you.
