Not to worry.

Anything that is contrary to --- that is, strictly ruled out by ---Scripture, is not part of Apostolic Tradition.

So even if you found something in, say, the Didache, which was strictly ruled out by Scripture (and I don't think you can, but I'm open to you trying) --- that erroneous item you found, would not be a part of Apostolic Tradition.

Mrs Don-o....shame on you! I've already shown you were there are false teachings in the Didache.

I really think catholics on this board don't think people pay attention to what they say.

I thought you of all catholics on this board were above this kind of thing.

Then we don't need apostolic tradition after all, do we?

If it's contrary to Scripture, then it's tossed.

If it agrees with Scripture it's redundant, and since it's already in Scripture, which has the final authority, anything any man has to say which is not authoritative like Scripture is, isn't necessary.

If people aren't going to accept it out of Scripture, then they aren't going to accept it if men say so.

Besides all that, just how do you know which parts of the Didache to accept anyway? What is your basis or criteria for determining if something in it is true or false teaching?

Galatians 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

Now please show an infallible source that proves that what the Catholic Church teaches as "tradition" is exactly what the apostles taught.
