If we allow "Tradition" to be equal to Scripture, then you have to allow the Mormon their Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants and the Pearl of Great Price as equal to Scripture.

That is patently dishonest. YOU don't get to say what the constitutes Holy Tradition, just as you don't get to say God commanded what He didn't.

Actually, it's very honest.

The writings of the ECFs Catholics cling too are not considered to be inspired nor were they included in the Catholic canon at Trent.

In many of these discussions the opinion of the various ECFs are disregarded when they disagree with the Catholic.

Yes we do...If any religion teaches another gospel or differing doctrines that are taught in the scriptures, whether called Holy Traditions or anything else, we have the means and the right to call those religions out...

The mormons' and izlamnuts' stra biblical writings are just as legitimate as those of the Catholic religon...The Christianity that adheres to and follows the written scriptures 'only' (Old and New Testaments) is the only religion that can truthfully make the claim that IT is the church(es) of the scriptures...
