Apostolic Tradition, or Apostolic Example, is the second of three means of establishing scriptural authority. The three means are as follows:

1. Direct/Express Command
2. Apostolic Example
3. Necessary Inference

Apostolic example is necessary for the establishing of God's will, as the Apostles were inspired by the Holy Spirit.

The Apostle Paul writes in 2 Thessalonians 2:15, "Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle."

This verse establishes that Apostolic Tradition/Example is equal in law to direct commandments.

Why does the Church need both Scripture and Tradition?

Catholic AnswerThe Church needs Tradition because that is what Our Blessed Lord gave Her. She needs Scripture because She inherited the Old Testament from the Jews, ultimately from God, and Tradition gave Her the New Testament. They are both the Word of God, which means that, in a very real sense, they are Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ. But in the end, Tradition (with a captial "T") is what God gave us, all Scripture came out of Tradition and the New Testament expressly tells us that we must abide by Tradition and Scripture.
