So from what I understand, both Catholics and Protestants understand Scripture and Tradition to be two separate categories for doctrine, with the former accepting both and the latter accepting on Scripture. But the Orthodox don't make this same distinction, the Orthodox consider everything Tradition, including Scripture. The Bible itself is apart of the Tradition of the Orthodox Church and all the teachings of the Church are Tradition since the Orthodox put a greater emphasis on the life of the Holy Spirit in the Church than either Catholics or Protestants generally do.

1.So a Protestant would say the Holy Spirit guides the individual (sometimes represented through a governing body like a denomination) towards correct interpretation of Scripture.

2. A Catholic would say the Magisterium (represented by the Pope) guides the Church towards correct interpretation of Scripture though the aid of Tradition under the protection of the Holy Spirit.

3. The Orthodox would say that the Holy Spirit guides the entire Church as a collective (represented by all the bishops everywhere) towards a correct understanding of Tradition as a whole.

Protestants are bottom up approach, Catholics are top down approach, and Orthodox are a middle out approach.

Seems reasonable, think I'm going to convert to Orthodoxy. Catholicism is just too corrupt honestly, and Protestantism is really silly and ridiculous, especially the Baptists who do tends to have low IQs.
