Then you appeal to tradition in addition to Scripture?

Yes, and I am quite Biblical in doing so. Christ sent the Apostles to teach all things that He had taught them. In the last verse of his Gospel St. John tells us that not all is written in Scripture. If all is to be taught, and all is not set down in Scripture, part of Christian doctrine must be elsewhere. Where? St. Paul tells us clearly. “Brethren, stand fast; and hold the traditions which you have learned, whether by word, or by our Epistle.” II. Thess. II, 14. “Hold the form of sound words whicn you have heard of me in faith.” II. Tim. I, 13. “The things thou hast heard of me by many witnesses, the same commend to faithful men, who shall be fit to teach others also.” II. Tim. II, 2. All Christians from the very beginning believed that Christian revelation was contained not only in Scripture, but also in tradition. Acts II, 42, tells us that “they were persevering in the doctrine of the Apostles,” that is, in the oral teaching of the Apostles which they taught to one another, and handed on to their children. Those who repudiate tradition have lost the complete doctrine of Christ
