OK, let's take Tradition-with-a-capital-T 101. Truths that we have from Apostolic times, which are not, themselves, found in print in the Scriptures.
The names of the authors of the Torah and the Gospels: Tradition.
The Canon of the OT and the NT: Tradition.

Let's not confuse O.T. tradition and Apostolic tradition with Catholic tradition, okay? The names of the authors of the Torah?? The Catholics are claiming credit for that?? Please.
The authors for the N.T.?? #1 Known BEFORE the RCC and #2 Nice to know but have nothing to do with doctrine. The RCC gets real sticky when it comes to credit and not so much when it comes to (a multitude of) blame.

When did the Catholic Church come into existence? Please cite your sources? I am talking about legitimate secular sources. No one with an axe to grind either way. Acceptable sources include Encyclopedia Britannica, Wikipedia etc...
