Depends what is meant by "simply take the word of the Catholic Church". I certainly don't say, "Sacred Tradition is the same as taught by the Apostles because my parish priest says so" and no other reason. If that's helpful.
But I'm asking you, not myself, "What kind of evidence would convince you?" Please note, I do not have a desire at this time to expound on the types of evidences I have accepted.
If you don't want to answer the question that's fine. I was just asking.
Well, if the catholic church limited their understanding/useage of tradition to that taught by the apostles we might have something.
Unfortunately, they've gone beyond what the apostles have taught. Way beyond.
My understanding of catholicism was you had to accept the "official teaching" of the church. if you don't now you're practicing what catholics falsely accuse non-catholics of doing...your own interpretation!
aka reading the Bible and letting God speak to you.
Give the infallible evidence that what the Catholic Church under their guise of “tradition” teaches today is what the apostles taught which they referred to as tradition.
