Right in the Bible! It is true that perhaps that there are more spoken than that which has been written down by the apostles or the writers of the NT. But certainly it will not detract from what is already revealed in the writings nor contradict it. I suspect that with the RCC, tradition supercedes Scripture rather than being driven and guided by Scripture. Here's something to think about concerning traditions. Jaroslav Pelikan, in his work Vindication of Tradition, makes an important distinction. “Tradition is the living faith of the dead, [whereas] traditionalism is the dead faith of the living.” Traditions are established customs, often handed down through the generations and generally observed. Traditionalism is the excessive respect for tradition that gives it the status of divine revelation. |
