Scripture Alone is a smokescreen because it's based on individual interpretation of Scripture supposedly guided by the same Holy Spirit Protestantism insists could not and did not protect His Word from the inclusion of error. That means it's based on denying the perfection of the Holy Spirit and the raising of Self above the Holy Spirit.
Folks can enjoy pretending Self and Self Alone is the same thing as Christianity all you like but that pretense doesn't change the fact that all Protestant and Protestant derived heresy starts and ends with replacing the Holy Spirit with the Most High and Holy Self.
have a nice day
"I don't think it means what you think it means...."
Once you learn the actual definition of Sola Scriptura come talk to me; until then, take your straw man do a little reading.
Besides... I note you didn't answer the question either. Riddle me this -- as it was posted elsewhere, but fits into the whole, "because scripture is silent, we can make it say what we want"-- or something like that....
The CCC states that Mary is a mediatrix -- she provides intercession and brings salvation... square that with Christ's own words in John 14:
"6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”"
That "no one comes to the Father" part means salvation. Through Christ's intercession alone.
And, in 1 Timothy 2:
"5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,"
How does that square with the Catechism? Isn't that Church teaching? If Christ himself says HE is the only way, why does the Catholic Cult then, by interpreting the scripture its own way, by the way, come up with this utter nonsense?
Talk about interpreting...actually MISinterpreting scripture... that's all the Catholic Cult can do in order to try to foist its false gospel over onto its adherents.
The only smokescreen going is coming out of the Vatican.
