Can’t you read? That’s not what I claimed at all.
Okay, I’m sick enough of dealing with this for now.

Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men - Mark 7:7 #268

That should frighten even the most ardent Catholic into understanding that the Catholic Church teaches doctrines not taught in scripture. It’s possible to worship God in vain. What a sobering thought. #274

Only if it meant what you think it does, which it doesn’t. #304
There is much that was passed down sola word-of-mouth, and more that we received through personal revelations. #270
Just hunting for a little honesty...Guess I'll have to keep looking...
actually Is....
there is only 10% separating me as a Catholic and you as a protestant.
lets say that you and I agree that there is only ONE TRUTH,
and that you and a disparate group of your fellow protestants in a bible study group decide one particular Scriptural text, that may be open to discussion,
throughout the evening everyone in turn gets to standup and give their opinion on exactly what that passage means, but...
you end up with 10 quite different interpretations of that passage....
now since you know you bible text and since that passage happens to be one you have studied long and hard, you could probably assume that, since there is only one truth, you are the only ONE in TEN with the correct interpretation, so you could say only 10% of the room had the truth.
Now if I looked in and heard your interpretation, of course as a Catholic, I would consider your interpretation to be wrong, 0 in 10 and mine to be right.
Therefore, voila, we are only 10% apart!
Here is where I would stick in a smiley face but Elsie didn’t show me how to do that, yet!

Thanks for the ping, dear Iscool!

First you should take measures to increase the odds that you’ll know it when you see it. Then you’ll discover that it was in the Church all along.
