I explained why and how Tradition is self-correcting in that post:

If I need to understand the passage I suspect is not self-evident, I can read the Catechism or talk to a priest, till that process brings a better understanding. Usually, a reference to the early Church writings closes the deal, if the Catechism is silent. That way, the meaning of a particular verse, say, Matthew 1:25 or Luke 1:28, is understood not through some archaeological analysis of surviving copies, but by evidence of understanding common to the Fathers.

Do I need to elaborate?

Not really. Welllll---you might have to explain what you mean by "common to the Fathers." At least you didn't go so far as to say "unanimous consent of the Fathers".

BTW the RCC used to say the earth was the center of the universe --- until they didn't. Al Goreish?
