Supporting arguments

The Council of Trent (1565) established that church traditions were valid parts of the Christian faith, and are integral to the Catholic church. [1]

Opposing arguments

The Bible is God's plan for salvation and it is perfect. No additional sources of spiritual knowledge are useful or acceptable, including church traditions. [2]
