The scriptures are a part of Holy Tradition and you have no meaningful access to their divine authority or wisdom if you try to sever the scriptures from the Church that Christ founded. Sola Scriptura is a heresy that ultimately brings one to worship of self.

I'd trust the guys that were around the time of Christ and not long after than a revolutionist 1500 years later The Catholic church did turn heretical but the orientals stayed true to the word and the fathers traditions

The Bible IS Catholic Tradition.
