It's the central, but not the only thing in the life of the Church.

So the Church is bigger than Holy Tradition, which is bigger than the bible?

That's silly, DM. Are you bigger than your heart, your lungs or your stomach? It's all part of one organism. There was a Church before there was a New Testament.

Apparently but the bible, including Peter states:

Mark 7:13

Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

Col 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

2Th 3:6 Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.

1Pe 1:18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
