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.
