Circle_Master Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 It's Sacred Tradition if Christ and His Apostles taught it! It's not just a "because the Church says so" thing! hm.. but the Catholic Church decides which traditions are the Word of God and which are not - correct?

Dave Posted January 25, 2004 Author Share Posted January 25, 2004 hm.. but the Catholic Church decides which traditions are the Word of God and which are not - correct? Wrong. Jesus had already decided that. All the Church has done for 2000 years is abide by His decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the Church has done for 2000 years is abide by His decisions. so can you show me Jesus' words in Scripture (the written part of Oral Law) all about purgatory, assumption of Mary, treasury of merit (grace), transubstantiation (not as a metaphor), merit of congruity, and others? No, you can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
