Why I reject sola scriptura

[SmileBugMG]

I don't have time to read this whole thread, so I'm going to just respond to one thing that jumped out at me in the OP. Sorry if it's a repeat.

Clause 7 summary: Sacred Scripture is the rule of faith and life. We do not agree, the rule of faith and life is Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition, which together comprise the full deposit of Gods revelation.

God's revelation is always increasing. Sacred Tradition is dynamic and can be added to as God reveals more of His plan to us. The Bible is pretty static; I don't think the Church will be adding any new books any time soon. (Although it may be possible, anyone know the official teaching on that?) But there's always room for new doctrines to be revealed. Even now, the Church is considering a possible revelation of Mary as Co-Redempteress. I know that's going to open a whole other can of worms but so be it.

Sola Scriptura claims that all of God has been revealed, thereby indirectly implying that we can know all there is to know about God now, no further revelation is forthcoming. But that is not so, God is always telling us new things about Himself. The time of Revelation is not over!

The Church has dogmatically declared that the canon is closed and cannot be added to. Also, revelation ceased at the time of the Apostles, what's been happening since then is the development of doctrine which technically is not new revelation. The deposit of the faith was complete at the time of the passing of the last Apostle.

So how can the church be adding new doctrines?
