As for your traditions and philosophers

What about your "traditions and philosophers"??

Just yesterday I saw a post from you effusively praising some article someone had posted by Erich someone or other. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that Erich individual wasn't an Apostle, didn't write under inspiration, and none of his writings appear in Scripture.

Do they???

You all -- fundamentalist Protestants in general -- must take us Catholics for blind fools, because when you talk to us, it's "the Bible, the Bible, I only follow the Bible" but when you think our backs our turned, you follow the words of men you think are "godly" just as much as we do!

The difference is that our tradition comes from Christ and the Apostles, and your tradition is one you picked because you liked it better.

Their explanation is that their traditions are actually from the Holy Spirit which prevents them from doctrinal error, so no further discussion is meaningful.
