“What is our authority structure?” This question leads to a discussion on the implications of Sola Scriptura and how Catholics understand authority through both Tradition and Scripture. Other topics include how Catholics respond to 2 Timothy’s assertion about Scripture’s profitability and the significance of 1 Timothy 3:15 regarding the Church as the pillar and foundation of truth.
