And do not Protestants do the same when they add things, like sola Scriptura, and insist that everyone must accept their interpretations of the Bible?

[Petrosius]

Tradition is the day to day teaching of the Church handed down from the Apostles. Indeed, the acceptance of the canon of the Scriptures is part of that Tradition itself.
