If you mean to just quote other individuals, Catholics, then, no, that is not Church Tradition,

Catholic Church Fathers built the church, allegedly. I think their opinion is important, even if you don't. Catholicism always disconnects itself from its own church history when it is no longer convenient.

Church Fathers are very important.

Your error is to pick and choose quotes interpreting their meaning and then claim that is what the Church teaches, that one person’s view of tradition as garnered from selected quotes, one person’s view - yours - is Church Tradition.

You’re projecting your individualism on the Church. Just as you do on Holy Scripture.

The Church is not about individuals, either Church Fathers or you.
