don’t delude yourself into believing that those Greek bishops who canonized the books of the NT allowed ANYTHING into their canonized scripture which conflicted with what they preserved as Holy Tradition.

I agree with this. The part that makes me still Protestant, however, is this question: How do you determine what is valid "holy tradition"?

As a Protestant, I don't have an answer.

“The part that makes me still Protestant, however, is this question: How do you determine what is valid “holy tradition”?”

Actually, that’s pretty easy, at least back to the second century, the thrid at the latest. Its what The Church has always believed. As an example, let me cite the Divine Liturgy. For all intents and purposes, with a few changes around the edges, the Liturgy I attended this morning is the same one my ancestors attended 1800 years ago, maybe even earlier than that with the Liturgy of St. James. Keeping faithful to the Holy Traditions is one of the main functions of the Laity within The Church. We are the ones who make sure the hierarchs and clergy don’t go astray and its a role we take very, very seriously and are very, very good at.
