All oral tradition is banned.
All takanot and ma’assim are departure from Torah, whether from a ‘Rabbi” or a ‘priest,’ or whatever.
Oral tradition is always contrary to Yehova’s word. Men always want to add in their own ideas, and subtract the commandments that they find difficult to follow.
“Christmas,” and Easter are perfect examples of this. The previous two popes have conceded that December 25 is not Yeshua’s birth date, and that the markings that the world has attached to it are pagan, yet it just doesn’t go away. Easter with its rabbits and dyed eggs, and sunrise gatherings, and eating of pork, is clearly the worship of Ishtar and Tammuz.
They are a stench in the nostrils of Yehova, and of his true sheep. Deuteronomy 4:2, and 12:32 are very much still in force. His commandments are not to be added to, nor subtracted from.
