Apparently the distinction is not clear, since the "tradition" that they wrote of is considered equal of Scripture. Although, their writings were their opinions and are not God Breathed.

Yes, that's all I can figure. That means that those writings of the Fathers that were the most popular, the ones that passed the vote, must be considered equal or superior to God's OWN word. But really, we already know the answer to that because extra-scriptural tradition declares what the scripture means without regard to other scripture. Therefore, that tradition trumps the scriptures. I think it would have been more sporting if they had let the Bible defend itself, but then that would have spoiled all the "secrets of the deposit of faith" which contradict scriptures. I guess if one has the power, why take any chances? :)
