Evangelical Protestantism holds, by and large, the view that Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition are somehow unalterably opposed to each other and, for all practical purposes, mutually exclusive. This is yet another example of a false dichotomy which Protestantism often (unfortunately) tends to create (e.g., Faith vs. Works, Matter vs. Spirit). The Bible, however, presupposes Tradition as an entity prior to and larger than itself, from which it is derived, not as some sort of “dirty word.”

This entire post asserts a false premise. The Protestant ideal does not consider tradition a "dirty word." Sola Scriptura places tradition under the Holy Bible, which is held to be supreme, irrevocable, and unchanging. Protestants of all stripes have traditions which they hold to.

In Catholicism, Scripture and Tradition are intrinsically interwoven.

There's your problem, right there.
