In my evangelical days, I was told the truth was to be found in the Bible and in the Bible alone.

Catholics seem to be hung up on this misnomer in trashing Protestants. The Bible is the foundation, not the only source of truth. Unlike Catholics, where the Church is the foundation and it is nice if the Bible supports them.

We Catholics believe the Church is the Guardian of Truth, the Truth of the Word of God. We believe His Word is both Oral, through Sacred Tradition, and Written, through the Sacred Scriptures.

His two questions are non sequitors. And what is the authority for the Roman Catholic position? The Church?

Where else do evangelicals get their truth?
