key words. I haven't noticed. I assume the keywords describe discontent. Right?

Here is a key line from the article

Lacking any evidence for a certain teaching from the Bible, some of the sources (ancient and otherwise) simply create the teaching by placing words “on the lips” of Jesus, Mary and John.

Now we'll read the tired (and frequently met) challenge to "Prove 'Sola Scriptura'" and the insistence that everything we need to know is not written... Saying something like "Even scripture leads me to conclude that traditions are justified BECAUSE they're not included in the Bible."

This distortion gives license to do, say, believe anything that can be imagined. This is the way of the Roman Catholic Church and it stalwart adherents.

The Word of God is enough:

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.” (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

If anyone want to tell me again that the RCC preserved Scripture then I'll gladly say "Thanks!"

Now, Study It! Examine It! Love It! There's your BREAD! You will grow strong by doing this.

Strong enough to break the chains that bind you!

I know this is true.

Funny. When we are challenged to support sS, we do it.

When Catholics are challenged to support sacred tradition, all we get is ***CRICKETS***.
