Sacred Tradition does not contradict the Bible but amplifies it. The selection of the books to be included in the Bible is itself a part of this Tradition. Tradition and the reception of the revelation of the Bible are both part of our Lord’s promise to send his Holy Spirit and to be with us until the end of the ages. Jesus did not write a book but established a teaching church from which we received the Gospel and Sacred Scripture.
Protestants also operate with their own unacknowledged traditions when they pass on their manmade novelties of the Reformers. Unlike those of the Catholics, however, theirs actually contradict the very Bible that they “claim” as their only source of authority. Thus they empty such Biblical statements such as “this is my Body”, “whose sins you forgive are forgiven them”, “not all those who cry out ‘Lord, Lord’ will enter the kingdom of Heaven but only those who do the will of my heavenly Father,” “faith without works is dead,” ect. of their plain and easily understood meaning.
Please show where the NT writers said Mary was sinless.
. Please show where Jesus said we had to go to a priest for confession.
Please show where the NT said to build idols of Mary and pray to her.
. We can start with those for now.
Prove to be false too many times.

Proven to be a false assertion.

We received the Word from God. He moved the ekklesia to include the books of the NT and OT. Not the other way around.
We were not left "Tradition". We were left His Word and Holy Spirit which is to guide the ekklesia.
