CHALLENGE “We don’t need Tradition or the Magisterium to help us understand Scripture. It is perspicuous—i.e., clear and readily understandable.” DEFENSE This claim can be understood more than one way. It may be understood in a strong sense, according to which Scripture is sufficiently clear that every point of theology can be settled by Scripture alone. However, Scripture contains many passages that are very difficult to understand. Anyone with minimal exposure to the Bible knows it is far from perspicuous. If it were, the diverse interpretations and debates about its meaning would not exist. https://www.catholic.com/audio/ddp/the-perspicuity-of-scripture
