So, my question is: Would this be our response to Catholicism which elevates tradition on a level with Scripture? Would we say that the theology preserved through these four activities was sufficiently defined so that we need not embrace the writings of the Patristic Fathers as being equal to Scripture. Not long ago someone pointed out to me that all of the early Church Fathers held to Transubstantiation. If that is so, where did they get that idea? The same goes for baptismal regeneration. What happened after the apostles died?
