Catholics agree. The question is precisely how---by what means---God's authority is communicated to men.
ECT DID JESUS TEACH SOLA SCRIPTURA?

Don't presume to comment concerning the Catholic Church or her teachings---things of which you've proven yourself utterly ignorant---and I'll be happy to "carry on."

Notice how vehemently Cruciform tries to Defend the Catholic Church
Organization without providing Scriptures or backing it up by following
what JESUS Requires a Real Christian to do like NOT CALLING PRIESTS
FATHER
Matthew 23:8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ;
and all ye are brethren.
Matthew 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth:
for one is your Father, which is in heaven
10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.

Jesus taught the Jews of his day to observe the Torah which says, "Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it." (Deuteronomy 12:32 NKJV)
The Hebrew Bible was the only scripture available to Jesus and he said scripture cannot be broken.
So yes, Jesus was sola scriptura.

Note that OCT23 has no answer to the question. This is telling.
Surely Cruciform realizes that we are all priests of the Holy Spirit. Catholic priests are no more priestly than he is.

The Bible is the written element of God's word (Divine Revelation); Tradition is the unwritten aspect of God's word. St. Paul taught these two aspects of Divine Revelation in 2 Thess. 2:15, 1 Thess. 2:13, etc.
God speaks to us through both Scripture and Tradition as understood according to the authoritative teachings of Christ's one historic Church.

Incorrect. Though all believers are "priests" in a certain generic sense, there is also a clerical priesthood whose gifts and duties are above and beyond that of the average layman.

And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ... (Ephesians 4:11-12 NKJV)
Paul didn't mention priests because he knew we are all priests of Jesus Christ. You're beginning to make me think Paul was not a well informed Catholic.
