1 Corinthians 11: Tradition, ‘Handed On’ Because It Was ‘Received’

Description:

In St. Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians we find the scriptural basis for “tradition”, both of which — scripture and tradition — work together to express revelation.  Concerning the Institution of the Eucharist, pronounced by Christ at the Last Supper, St. Paul is ‘handing on’ what he has ‘received’.  This ‘handing on’ from the beginning is what the Catholic Church holds as tradition.
