Your ignorance and errors about Catholicsm are not Catholicism. There is Tradition and within that Tradition there are many ecclesiastical traditions. You do not know what the hell you are writing about but that does not prevent you from writing and, despite what others rant, I have not tried to get you silenced - which is prolly an impossibility. Here is a definition of Tradition TRADITION. Literally a "handing on," referring to the passing down of God's revealed word. As such it has two closely related but distinct meanings. Tradition first means all of divine revelation, from the dawn of human history to the end of the apostolic age, as passed on from one generation of believers to the next, and as preserved under divine guidance by the Church established by Christ. Sacred Tradition more technically also means, within this transmitted revelation, that part of God's revealed word which is not contained in Sacred Scripture. Referring specifically to how Christian tradition was handed on, the Second Vatican Council says: "It was done by the apostles who handed on, by the spoken word of their preaching, by the example they gave, by the institutions they established, what they themselves had received – whether from the lips of Christ, from His way of life and His works, or whether they had learned it by the prompting of the Holy Spirit" (Constitution on Divine Revelation, II, 7). (Etym. Latin traditio, a giving over, delivery, surrender; a handing down: from tradere, to give up.) And here is a source you can read.. http://www.catecheticsonline.com/SourcesofDogma.php or here..... http://www.catecheticsonline.com/Catechism.php <I>Merely invoking “Mystery” is not enough. Since the institution is broken, one must look elsewhere.</I> There is no mystery you think your personal opinions have supplanted the Church established by Jesus. And to get to that ideological insanity all you had to do was accept the idea Jesus would establish His Church, tell others who heard it heard Him, send the Holy Spirit upon it to teach it all truth, and be with it until the end of time and all of those promises by the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, Jesus Our Lord and Saviour, would all turn out to be lies. Well, if we can't trust Jesus, at least we an trust you, Mr. Ramus. We can trust you will think and write like an .... Oh, that's right. I ma trying to cut-back on the bad language. Have a pleasant self-righteous day, brother :) Sent at: 2008 11 21
