Sola Scriptura Pt. I


I would like to begin with a formal apology. Our recent announcement concerning our upcoming conversion to Catholicism has kicked up a little bit of dust, so to say. It is only natural that those we love and have journeyed with would have questions and/or concerns about our decision. I admit that I may have responded in anger to some of the concerns that were brought about, and for this I ask your forgiveness. It has never been my intention to point out how Protestants are wrong and why Catholics are right. Are Protestants Christians? Yes. Are Catholics Christians? Yes. We are all Christians. We all declare Christ as Lord. However, there is a key difference between Protestantism and Catholicism. Catholics understand and proclaim the importance of Scripture for faith and salvation, but we also hold to Church Tradition as a pillar of faith. This is where Protestants disagree.
