from The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 1994
766 The Church is born primarily of Christ's total self-giving for our salvation, anticipated in the institution of the Eucharist and fulfilled on the cross. "The origin and growth of the church are symbolized by the blood and water which flowed from the open side of Christ as he slept the sleep of death upon the cross that there came forth the 'wondrous sacrament of the whole Church.'" Sacrosanctum concilium 5) As Eve was formed from the sleeping Adam's side, so the church was born from the pierced heart of Christ hanging dead on the cross. (Cf. St. Ambrose, In Luc. 2, 85-89: J.P. Migne, ed., Patrologia Latina {Paris: 1841-1855} 15, 1666-1668)

What does tradition mean in the Roman Catholic Church?
Roman Catholic AnswerIn the Catholic Church, the word "tradition" has two meanings. The first refers to Divine Revelation which has been passed down through the ages. The second is always capitalized and is called "Sacred Tradition". Sacred Tradition is a subset of tradition and refers specially to that part of revelation which is NOT contained in Sacred Scripture. Sacred Scripture, ie. the Bible, is thus part of tradition, it is the part that was written down in the first century, and brought together in the fourth century as the Bible as we have it today.
