    Isn't that what religious traditions do? Isn't that
    theoretically, at least, what the Roman magisterium is
    for? Or the more decentralized and ecumenical
    approach of the Eastern Orthodox church for dealing
    with important issues?

    Or are those, or other christian truth seeking
    communities deficient for relying, at least in part,
    on the authority of scripture?
