I’ve always been curious about the mentality that God’s word is not sufficient when it says it is.

And why if the traditions that the Catholic church adds and added are so critical to salvation, what reason they would give for why the Holy Spirit left them out.

Or if, as the Catholics claim, the Bible is a Catholic document and they wrote it, (*the catholic church gave the world the Bible, say thank you Catholic church*) why they left to so many important things.

And also why, if they could not do an even halfway decent job of including in the Bible things that were so important to know, we should trust them now to fix it?

They proved themselves untrustworthy to do the job adequately in the first place and now we’re supposed to trust them to correctly interpret it and trust their additional revelation that they claim is from God?

Jesus Christ, His step-father Joseph, His mother Mary, all the Disciples including Peter, and virtually ALL of the first members of the Holy Catholic Church who were present on that particular Day of Pentecost (plus most if not all of the 3000 in Jerusalem who were converted and baptised that day)...were Jews.

Why does the RCC, including the Pontiffs in my lifetime, not support Jews and minister directly to Jews instead of to the enemies of Judah and Israel?

Why is support of the Jews not a significant part of RCC Holy Tradition?

I'm amazed at the SILENCE when Catholics are asked, begged and pleaded with to PLEASE show us just what TRADITIONS they have that are NEEDED for Salvation.

I've yet to see any response.
