Romish Tradition

THE position of the Romish church with reference to tradition has been officially declared by the Council of Trent. It is found in the 'Decree concerning the Canonical Scriptures'Google search. of April 8, 1546. The Council declares that the Gospel 'of old promised through the Prophets in the Holy Scriptures, our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, promulgated first with His own mouth, and then commanded it to be preached by all His Apostles to every creature as the source at once of all saving truth and rules of conduct. It also clearly perceives that these truths and rules are contained in the written books and in the unwritten traditions which, received by the Apostles from the mouth of Christ Himself, or from the Apostles themselves, the Holy Ghost dictating, have come down to us, transmitted as it were from hand to hand. Following, then, the examples of the orthodox Fathers, it receives and venerates with a feeling of piety and reverence all the books both of the Old and New Testaments, since one God is the author of both; also the traditions, whether they relate to faith or to morals, as having been dictated either orally by Christ or by the Holy Ghost, and preserved in the Catholic Church in unbroken succession' (cf. H. J. Schroeder: Canons and Decrees of the Council of TrentGoogle search., pp.17, 296).Source of quote.
