“So you are copy and pasting things from an anti-Catholic site I assume. “


If those two Bishops and one Pope are indeed anti-Catholic, I suppose the answer is “yes.” The quotes are from their writings, fully sourced. You can look them up if you want.

“we both know it.”


But I’m the only one who actually knows why. If you admit that there is no unanimous “oral tradition” of the Fathers, it undermines your contention that the Catholic Church is the inheritor of an infallible tradition from the Fathers.

“John’s Gospel, another bible verse refuting sola scriptura, states that not everything is written down”


It says that all the deeds of Jesus are not written down, not that there is an unlimited number of doctrines passed down orally to the Romanists, who can’t even figure out that the “oral tradition” they received taught transubstantiation.

“Both the Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church have taught that Truth is both written and oral for hundreds of years.”


According to the Eastern Orthodox’s oral tradition, the RCC is a heretical/schismatic group. They reject the primacy of Peter. They also have a unique spin on all sorts of issues that are different from the Roman Catholics. So, which Oral tradition is superior?

Unlike your tradition, the words of the Holy Scripture are always the same from one generation to the next. They do not differ, despite how much the EO, or the RCC, or some other group wrests them.
