I'm saying that the fallible human mind that can't properly place a capybara correctly is not the mind that I can take seriously for picking dogma out of scripture.
Ok so you are questioning the entirety of the Catholic Church's authority based on an instance that is that is at best a dietary exception for a localized people and at worst a scientific misclassification of an animal.
The machinations and nuances of The Church are complex to say the least so define some dichtonomies. I am using this essay for the basis of my argument.
Tradition: The living transmission of the message of the Gospel in the Church. The oral preaching of the Apostles, and the written message of salvation under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit (Bible), are conserved and handed on as the deposit of faith through the apostolic succession in the Church. Both the living Tradition and the written Scriptures have their common source in the revelation of God in Jesus Christ.
tradition: (lowercase t emphasized) can be define as locl
Conclusion: A local tradition cannot be said to be binding on our divine faith, and thus maintaining this tradition is not a requisite aspect of orthodox Catholic belief.
Dogma vs Doctrine
Magisterium vs church authority
