Scripture and Tradition
The Bible didn't fall from heaven wrapped in leather. The Church existed before the Bible. For the first few hundred years, there was no New Testament canon. It was the Catholic Church, guided by the Holy Spirit, that decided which books belonged in the Bible and which (like the Gospel of Thomas) were fake.
The canon was settled by the Church before anyone could pick up a bound New Testament. Knowing which books are in it is the first step and reading them with the Church is the rest.

The Reformers removed 7 books from the Old Testament (the Deuterocanon) because they contained teachings they didn't like (such as Purgatory in Maccabees). These books were in the Greek Septuagint used by Jesus and the Apostles.
Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch and the two books of Maccabees are the seven the Reformers dropped, and most Catholics have never read one of them straight through. Catholic/Christian Pro carries in-depth Bible studies covering the deuterocanonical books alongside the rest of Scripture, audio devotionals, guided prayers, worship playlists and offline access, for $49 paid once, lifetime access, no subscription, with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Pro is study material and audio. It changes nothing about where you stand with God. Begin this week.

In fact, 2 Thessalonians 2:15 says: "Stand firm and hold to the traditions we taught you, whether by word of mouth or by letter." The pillar and foundation of truth is the Church (1 Timothy 3:15).
Sola scriptura can be answered on paper in a paragraph. In your own life it is answered by knowing what Scripture actually says and how the Church reads it. Catholic/Christian Pro gives you in-depth Bible studies through both testaments, audio devotionals, guided prayers, worship playlists, offline access and early access to new studies, for $49 paid once, lifetime access, no subscription.
