Episode notes
Define Which 'Tradition' You Mean
- People argue about 'tradition' without defining which kind they mean, causing debate confusion.
- Martin Chemnitz categorizes eight distinct kinds to clarify which tradition is at issue.
Don't Read Later Claims Into The Fathers
- Pop Catholic apologetics often import later magisterial claims into patristic texts out of historical context.
- Chemnitz warns this whitewashes varied traditions into a single 'antiquity' to justify medieval doctrines.
Tradition That Became Scripture
- 'Tradition' can mean apostolic oral teaching later written into Scripture, not an independent authority.
- Chemnitz warns Rome bends any mention of tradition toward extra‑biblical doctrines.
