Once the Canon was formed the "oral Tradition" should have ended, but it didn't. It was made an equal of Scripture. A terrible human flaw to manipulate facts in order to empower themselves and their organization But human flaw continues through human interpretation of the Scripture. Suerely you don't suggest that of the tens of thousands of diffrent "versions" of Protestantism, they all represent "equal" interepetation of Scripture. Please, don't tell me some people are above error.
However, you still don't seem to understand that Holy Tradition is not a human tradition any more than the Holy Bible is a human invention. Holy Tradition is what the Church believed "everywhere and always," from the Penetecost onward. It doesn't change, it doesn't grow, it doesn't develop.

"But human flaw continues through human interpretation of the Scripture."
I can't disagree with our failures to interpret sometimes, but why compound this problem by empowering a small elitist group to tell everyone what and how to think. If you look at our history as Christians it seems pretty self evident that the Holy Spirit will put us back on track when we stray.

That is historically just untrue. Your "Holy Tradition" is what your sect decided it would be. It is unverifiable because it was not written down, witnessed and measured against Scripture. The most inaccurate information is that which is passed on orally from one generation to the next. Each generation will add or detract from the "alleged" facts based on the political pressures of the times. The change to the information may be well intended but make the information is suspect at best.
