I just realized how funny the title is.
It is written in presnet tense.
Tradition is the Word of God that was handed down from person to person in ancient times until it was written down in the Bible.
Tradition is not a “present tense” thing.
It’s been here a long time. (And you can thank the Catholic Church for preserving it.)
Really? Did the Vatican change definitions on you again? Maybe you forgot to read the latest set of errata?
Roman Catholics on here have been pounding the "fact" that there is "holy" tradition AND Scripture--now you're saying tradition IS scripture...
Y'all need to take a minute and get back on the same (wrong) page before you all start looking foolish....
Er... Strike that. Too late.

Protestant scholars and theologians will study and debate the meaning of Scripture.. Catholics scholars and theologians study and debate the church Fathers and tradition
The fact is Catholics can say tradition is not a "present thing" ..but the interpretation of it is
The best example is of course the immaculate conception and the assumption ...centuries went by without them being seen as a TRUTH
So tomorrow the magisterium could discover another tradition that has always been there but never discovered and call it doctrine..
That is the problem with basing your faith on the tradition men dig up.. they are truly the traditions of men..
