Editor:
I would like to commend KTW for publishing Chris Kempling’s Faith page column of May 3 (‘Focusing on the clarity of Scripture’).
This article clarifies the ancient dispute regarding sola scriptura, as understood by Protestantism, and scripture and tradition, as taught by Roman Catholicism.
As the article outlines, the former leads to division and disunity, as evidenced by some 30,000 (and growing) Protestant churches in our world today, while the Catholics have maintained unity by fidelity to the scripture and magisterium — one Holy Roman Catholic Church.
Kempling’s column makes this distinction very clear.
