Well, now we know you of all people really shouldn't rely on just your own reading, because you've taken a completely inverted meaning from this simple thing I wrote.

My point is that a sola scriptura reading of it doesn't tell you how to organise this list of 10 commandments, there are more than 10 imperatives. I was open to it here though, I said go ahead and try. On this matter, it's all a load of tradition that isn't held as dogma. My point is that to insist on your list, you're not relying on a plain reading, you're relying on a different American(?) tradition that you can't even fully remember.

They even removed one of the Ten Commandments.

"Thou shalt not bow before any graven image" or however it goes.

And accusing Catholics of holding a tradition that they do not hold, and one we aren't dogmatic about.

Then they split the tenth into two--"thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house" and "thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's possessions"--to bring the total back to ten.

I don't know where you think you read any of this, but being so wrong about scripture and faith traditions like that doesn't exactly inspire a lot of confidence in a sola scriptura approach.
