One thing that is consistent among Catholic and Orthodox teaching is the moral code. They do not update the moral code according to modern or post modern sensibilities.

In 1900 all Christian Denominations condemned divorce, only Catholics and Orthodox do now. In the 1920's all Christian denominations condemned Contraception, only Catholics and Orthodox do now. In the 1950 all Christian denominations condemned abortion, most accept or are muted now, except for Catholics and Orthodox. In the 1970's most (not all) condemned homosexual unions, the Catholic and Orthodox (and only a few Protestant denomination) still do so.

Both Catholics and Orthodox maintain that Tradition must be the light that translates Scripture. Scripture without an interpreter is meaningless as the constant change in Protestant theology demonstrates. Moreover, without Tradition, we would never know what is Scripture.

this is only true of liberal protestant denominations—that have become a shrinking minority among protestants.
