The Pope says what is tradition; therefore the Pope’s authority is elevated to that of scripture.

Thanks for playing, but that's not really how it works.

By the way, are the (Sola scriptura) Presbyterians right about infant baptism, or are the (Sola scriptura) Baptists right about infant baptism? If sola scriptura works, how can it provide contradictory answers to the same question?

Neither Presbyterians nor Baptists claim that Church tradition is equal to Scripture. Ultimately, one or the other is wrong in their interpretation of that doctrinal question.

Scripture does not provide contradictory answers. As a Catholic (I presume) you know this. Fallible men and their traditions do. In other words, Scripture is inerrant; men, Pastors, Priests and Popes are not.

Traditions that the Apostles taught: authoritative
Everything else: not authoritative

Why is this Pope repressing the Latin Mass?
