It’s there if you want to be absolutely sure you are following the words of God. The only infallible words are found in scripture. No other source has proven infallibility. Jesus Himself used scripture to refute Satan. Jesus always quoted scripture. Name one time when He referred to “tradition” in a positive way. Throughout scripture we are shown that the written word is to be relied on to prove the words of men. Scripture itself claims its infallibility. Those who rely on tradition can not make that claim. I think we are in good company relying solely on scripture as the base of belief.

Catholics should head the scripture.

Matthew 15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

2 Timothy 3:16,17 - All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching & furnishing to all good works.

Not so tradition.

"It's there..."

No its not. Scripture references Scripture, but it NEVER says Scripture Alone. As a matter of fact Scripture never defines Scripture or provides a Table of Contents. The Bible only exists because the Church wanted to establish a Lectionary to identify which writings it felt were legitimate to be read during the Liturgy of the Word in the Mass.

"No other source has proven infallibility.

When we see through the eyes of faith earthly proof is not needed. If you have faith why do you need proof?
