"Criticizing people for a belief because it's not found in Scripture..."

Nope! Only pointing out the hypocrisy of claiming it as the governing principle of Faith, claiming it is in Scripture and then feigning outrage when the error is pointed out. You should be mad at the fathers of the reformation who duped you, not me or the Church for holding fast to the teachings of the Apostles. We are making progress. I believe that this is the first time in the last 10 years that a believer in Sola Scriptura has actually admitted that it is extra-scritural.

Peace be with you
