All we Catholics assert is that this was the interpretation the early disciples, taught by the Apostles, understood an practiced under the command of Christ to go forth and teach...

We cannot attribute interpretations offered by every Biblical reader on scripture where a single truth collapses into a thousand interpretations. We have the sacred oral tradition before scripture was written and indeed was tradition was used as a cross reference to confirm what texts were legitimate and what were not.

Scripture is what counts, not the opinion pieces of men.

It doesn’t matter how many people agree with it.

Wide is the road and broad is the way that leads to destruction and many there are who find it.

Concensus means nothing in God’s economy.

Was this 'tradition' written down before 'scripture'?

If so; produce it.

Are these the same sacred oral traditions that teach that Moses gave them bread in the wilderness? The Pharisees are constantly quoting what they think are Scripture but in reality are traditions.

Joh 6:31 After all, our ancestors ate manna while they journeyed through the wilderness! The Scriptures say, ‘Moses gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”
Joh 6:32 Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, Moses didn't give you bread from heaven. My Father did. And now He offers you the true bread from heaven.
