Catholic Church is not against Sola Scriptura

AS TESTIFIED BY A CATHOLIC DEFENDER:


AS TESTIFIED BY THE CATHOLIC SAINTS

A Catholic painting depicting Jesus Christ and his saints are with him in heaven.

Catholic Church always teach that the Protestants, ADD and INC religion are the only ones in the Christian denominations to teach SOLA SCRIPTURA and the Catholic Church is not only the Bible but also with their so called Traditions claiming to be an apostolic when teaching doctrines within her flock.

let's unmask the Church's hypocrisy. Is it true that the SOLA SCRIPTURA belief first came from the Protestants?

NO! Because before Protestantism was founded, there are lot of saints who first believed on it.

Here are these saints:

Men of the world give many further rules about the way to speak, which I think we may pass over; as, for instance, the way jesting should be conducted. For though at times jests may be proper and pleasant, yet they are unsuited to the clerical life. For in the first place, HOW CAN WE ADOPT THINGS WHICH WE DO NOT FIND IN THE HOLY SCRIPTURES?

(St. Ambrose, On the Duties of the Clergy, Book I Ch. 23)

We have learned from none others the plan of our salvation, than from those through whom the Gospel has come down to us, which they did at one time proclaim in public, and, at a later period, by the will of God, HANDED DOWN TO US IN THE SCRIPTURES, TO BE THE GROUND AND PILLAR OF OUR FAITH

(St. Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies, Book III Ch.1)

But while the latter proceeded, on the subject of the soul, as far in the direction of supposed consequences as the thinker pleased, we are not entitled to such licence,

I mean that of affirming what we please; WE MAKE THE HOLY SCRIPTURES THE RULE AND THE MEASURE OF EVERY TENET; we necessarily fix our eyes upon that, and approve that alone which may be made to harmonize with the intention of those writings.

(St. Gregory of Nyssa c. 335-395, "On the Soul and the Resurrection")

Bring me not human reasonings and syllogisms, for I rely on the divine Scripture alone. ~ Theodoret of Cyrus

The holy and inspired Scriptures are fully sufficient for the proclamation of the truth. ~ St. Athanasius

The reason is that only canonical Scripture is a measure of faith. ~ St. Thomas Aquinas

But as we do not deny what is written, so we do reject what is not written. ~ St. Jerome


Biblically speaking, The saints for the moment are telling the Truth because before they said that, It was the teaching of Apostle Saint Paul before:

That ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another. (1 Corinthians 4:6)
