#12514 Catholic Missteps Against Protestants – Oral Traditions - Karlo Broussard
In this Catholic Answers Live episode, we address the Catholic appeal to oral tradition beyond Scripture. The discussion examines historical evidence that apostolic oral traditions persisted in the early Church, explains St. Paul’s teaching in 2 Thessalonians 3:6 on holding fast to received tradition, and responds to objections from Mark 7 regarding “traditions of men.” The episode concludes by addressing the problem of a fallible authority being required to identify the infallible canon of Scripture, offering a coherent Catholic defense of Sacred Tradition and biblical authority. Questions Covered: 00:30 – The Catholic’s Appeal to Oral Traditions Beyond Scripture 18:23 – Do we have any evidence that some oral traditions persisted? 29:35 – The Catholic’s Use of 2 Thess. 3:6—“stay away from brother who does not walk in accord with the tradition received” 44:25 – The Catholic’s Counter to Mark 7 and the “traditions of men” Argument 47:45 – The Catholic’s Counter to a Fallible List of Infallible Books
