What Catholics seem not to grasp is that the Catechism of the Catholic Church is not scripture.
While there are over 3,000 references to Sacred Scripture, it does not take much reading of the Catechism to realize that Catholic doctrine is based on much more than Scripture. There are also references to Professions of Faith, Ecumenical Councils, Particular Councils and Synods, Pontifical Documents, Ecclesiastical Documents, Canon Law, Liturgy, and Ecclesiastical Writers.
I realize that this is contrary to those who hold that all truth that’s necessary for salvation and godliness is in Scripture. I see the truth in that belief and I respect those who hold that belief. I also see that Sacred Tradition brings so much more to our faith and is a means of bringing us into a closer relationship with God.
Most twisted to mean something they need it to.

No kidding! Most of which the apostles never taught.
