This is “your” interpretation. Rev. Wright has “his”own interpretation, and Rev. Paula White has “her” own interpretation of scriptural texts as do Rev, Moon and David Koresh who have “their” particular interpretations as do 40,000 other non-Catholic Christian sects.

The Catholic Church from its early Christian Fathers offer us ONE truth for all time to all peoples. Our source is from a Church that pre-dates the Bible that we use as was affirmed in the Council of Rome in AD 382.

Jesus didn’t tell the apostles to write down everything he had taught them. He simply commanded them to teach it. Much of this teaching later made its way into Sacred Scripture, but every bit of it was and still is considered Sacred Tradition. These unwritten traditions span the whole life of the Church. The veneration of saints, statuary, iconography, Church architecture, the offering of incense, the lighting of candles, the public affirmation of our faith in the Eucharist through Corpus Christi celebrations, and the crucifix at the focus of our Churches.

The is why once arch anti-Catholic Protestant theologians and scholars have upon a careful and scholarly reading converted to Catholicism.

Jesus didn’t tell the apostles to write down everything he had taught them.

Oh, I see you've changed it. Catholics are finally getting that Jesus DID tell people to write things down.

We don't need to know everything Jesus did or said.

But the Holy spirit made sure that everything we need to know for salvation and being made mature and complete in Christ was included in Scripture.

“These unwritten traditions span the whole life of the Church. The veneration of saints, statuary, iconography, Church architecture, the offering of incense, the lighting of candles, the public affirmation of our faith in the Eucharist through Corpus Christi celebrations, and the crucifix at the focus of our Churches.”

Even the Catholic encyclopedia states that lighting of candles and other customs came from pagan religions.

There is no inspired architecture, veneration of saints, statuary, iconography, etc. and can’t be found before 100 ad. As such, it was not part of the Apostles tradition.

Ha ha!!

Your church's councils were FILLED with men having their OWN interpretation's/OPINION's!

It was ONLY by POWER of the MAJORITY of men's opinionated vote, that 'god' was able to clarify what he meant in the Bible.
