Just because Catholics do not ascribe to sola scriptura does not mean that we cannot also appeal to scripture. We believe in scripture, just not the sola part. Nor was I pointing to scripture alone for the authority of the Church but rather pointing out that scripture alone does not support scripture alone. You are the one claiming sola scripture but you cannot point to scripture to support that claim.

>>We believe in scripture<<

Only when it suits you. Then you add stuff like the Muslims and the Mormons. The Catholic Church claims they teach the same "traditions" that the apostles taught but they can't prove it. So you're left with taking some guys word for it just like the Muslims and the Mormons.

>>Nor was I pointing to scripture alone for the authority of the Church<<

So where else to they get it from? Just because they said so?

>>You are the one claiming sola scripture but you cannot point to scripture to support that claim.<<

Catholics can't show any other source for what the apostles taught so that's all that's left. Catholics claim they taught other things but can't prove it.

Then why all the denial when WE do it?
