Hi Ndjt,Protestant here, I'm not 100% sure what the EO and RC stance on Tradition is, but I think we can both agree that they sometimes seem to hold their traditions to the same level as Scripture, which is wrong, but that doesn't mean we should reject Tradition or* the Church Fathers.
To put it shortly, Scripture is magisterial and Tradition is ministerial. Scripture has ultimate importance as it is the Word of God, but Tradition is very useful when it is based upon Scripture.
This is why Creeds and Confessions are so important, they are not Scripture but they do accurately summarize Scripture and the basic doctrines of Christianity that are taught in Scripture.
I'm not sure if Aquila would agree with me here, and sorry to both of you for just randomly joining this conversation
