Let me get this straight, Doc:

The TRADITIONS, which are interpreted from the Early Church Fathers in their works, but which are NOT considered cannon, are to be held equal to the self-claimed God-breathed Bible; Which some RC's cast doubt to the total infallibility of the said Good Book, without actually saying it is fallible, 'cause they need those "Peter is the Rock" and "Mary, blessed above all women" quotes to be there, unblemished.

"Look, we RC's had our hands all over this book since before it was a book, so who knows what was MEANT by all that old stuff. Well, WE know what SOME of the book means, and all that other stuff might lead to dangerous waters. If you actually interpret it wrong some counsel will cast you out of the church and into hell, unless you confess your heresy."

Okay, it has been a long time since the Roman Catholic Church gave someone a old-time full-body stake-tan 'cause of their heresies, but have they ever taken the anathema off poor Brother Luther? Does the Catholic Church say he is toasting right now or just cooling his jets getting his temporal punishments taken care of, which will last about 10000 years past the Day of Glory...
