“Of course they do.”

No, they don’t.

“Paul said if they didn’t teach it that it was to be considered accursed.”

Have you yet proved they did not teach it?

“If Catholics teach it they must show that the apostles taught it.”

No. You, however, must prove that there is a verse that shows Matthew wrote an inspired book because you believe in sola scriptura.

“I just did.”

Nope. You completely failed.

“Prove that what is in that Encyclopedia is refuted by the Catholic Church. Show where they renounce statements or beliefs claimed there in.”

The statement need not be refuted because constant usage shows it to not be correct. Whoever wrote the article either made a typographical error or made the same logical error many Protestants do. I, and others here at FR, have pointed out before that the oCE is good, but not perfect.

“Then Catholics are no different then Muslims or Mormons in that they go by writing other than scripture.”

That logically follows nothing that was said so I have no idea where you’re even getting that.

“We can simply put them all in the same class.”

We can logically put Protestants in that class since they, like Mormons and Muslims also have a sola scriptura belief no matter how much all three deviate from it in practice on a daily basis.

I don't have to prove the apostles did not teach the assumption of Mary. I don't believe she was. There is nothing in scripture that says I need to believe that to be part of the ekklesia of Christ. The Catholic Church says Catholics must believe that. It is therefore the responsibility of the Catholic Church to show the apostles taught that the assumption of Mary is necessary.

>>No. You, however, must prove that there is a verse that shows Matthew wrote an inspired book because you believe in sola scriptura.<

Why do I need to prove that? Nothing in Matthew is contradicted in any of the other books. If you can show where Matthew contradicts any of the other writers let me know and we can discuss it. Would you do the same for let's say the book of Tobit?

>>Whoever wrote the article either made a typographical error or made the same logical error many Protestants do. I, and others here at FR, have pointed out before that the oCE is good, but not perfect.<<

So show where the Catholic Church refutes what is in it.

>>like Mormons and Muslims also have a sola scriptura belief<<

Mormans and Muslims have a sola scriptura belief? Seriously?
