Well, tell ya what. You go right ahead and rely on mans tradition while I will follow the example set by Christ and voiced by Paul when he commended the Bereans for “searching the scriptures daily to see if what they said was true”. You have the Pharisees as examples, I have Christ. Your “tradition” includes pagan rituals, symbols, and holy days. My scripture has only the inspired by God words that promise enough information to assure me of salvation. No Catholic is assured of salvation. I am.

"You go right ahead and rely on mans tradition..."

You do every time you open the Bible because it was the Traditions that became Scripture and it was the Traditions of the Mass that dictated it become compiled into a Lectionary.

The notion that the Church was a teaching institution relying exclusively on Oral Tradition for the first 40 years after the Pentecost and then nothing more than a librarian for the next 1970 years is absurd.
