@Escoffier @KingOfWhiteAmerica @James_Dixon @BadOptniks @JohnYoungE @Sulla_Felix @somemightsay I understand what your saying. People will ruin anything.

I will humbly submit that it is almost always a mistake to pit obedience to tradition against obedience to God. Jesus did it that one famous time because they were following traditions contrary to the command of God. What they were doing was bad because it violated God's law, not because it was a tradition of men. In a Christian culture, every tradition of men should align and overlap with the law of God. Obviously, we've never lived in one that good. But many traditions that come to us are directly from the apostles, and we would be retarded to forsake them because of that one exchange with the pharisees. On the other hand, those were Christ's words, and they were recorded for us.

So we have these arguments.

I think it boils down to tribalism (which is a good impulse I believe). People trust their own people. If your people, whom you trust, say "catholics follow the tradition of men instead of God's law" then you tend to believe them. I know I did for a long time.
