I have repeatedly asked what oral traditions it was that Paul taught that are not recorded in Scripture, how we know what they are how we can be sure they have been faithfully handed down, and I have yet to receive an answer.
There is obviously no source that tells us those things as no one has yet provided a link to the documentation of them.
And no one will. For some part of “oral tradition” to be of equal authority with the written word it would have to come either from the lips of Christ or a person speaking under the inspiration of God’s spirit and be preserved as such so that we could have it today knowing its source.
Since most recognize that the Biblical canon is closed to further additions, Is the same true for that body of so-called “Sacred Tradition”? By that I mean can the Magisterium of the Roman Catholic Church add or discover or pronounce that which was once considered nonessential myth or legend is now part of “Sacred Tradition” that must be accepted as part of faith and that would stand with equal authority with written Scripture?
If NOT then “Sacred Tradition” is a set body of oral teachings that cannot grow or shrink. If YES, an example of such happening would be good to see.
Of course those are just my questions.
Documentation? Who needs documentation when you have an infallible magisterium? If they say it is true now, then it must always have been true, and no further documentation is necessary.
