The Holy Word of God speaks of tradition in the greek word paradosis. paradosis can be bad and good. If it is a manly tradition that contradicts the One Faith of the Christian Church then it is not to be followed as part of our ONE Faith. However, if it is Holy Tradition, that which the Apostle Paul speaks of as Oral and Writeen Tradition, it is Holy and Trustworthy guide for us to make sure we do not privately interpret The Bible apart from the ONE HOLY SPIRIT's already manifestations and understanding given to all Christians worldwide by the Apostles or by his trusted teachers taught under His One worldwide Orthodox Church. fyi: be careful when reading some translations. Whenever the word paradosis has a negative connotation, they translate as "tradition" but when it is very positively encouraged, it is translated "teaching" or "doctrine". Sadly, here is where translators show a bias based upon modern teachers of the last 200-400 years who have forsaken their connection to the common witness of The ONE HOLY SPIRIT that has always been present from the beginning of our ONE Orthodox Cathlolic Church. When the Orthodox Catholic Church in Rome split and divided itself from the ONE Holy Communion always present among all believers everywhere, especially at 1054 a.d., it unfortunately led to many more splits that has brought us the modern phenomenon of 25000+ denominations and independent interpretations of the Bible. HOLY TRADITION is given by God's HOLY SPIRIT to make sure we always understand God's Word only according to our Apostolic Faith and not according to any man's private interpretation.

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.
