This week\u2019s Patristic<\/a>\"\" quote comes from Saint Basil.<\/a>\"\" It deals with how Scripture and tradition interact with one another.

Concerning the teachings of the Church, whether publicly proclaimed (kerygma) or reserved to members of the household of faith (dogmata), we have received some from written sources, while others have been given to us secretly, through apostolic tradition. Both sources have equal force in true religion. No one would deny either source \u2013 no one, at any rate, who is even slightly familiar with the ordinances of the Church. If we attacked unwritten customs, claiming them to be of little importance, we would fatally mutilate the Gospel, no matter what our intentions \u2013 or rather, we would reduce the Gospel teachings to bare words.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
