Last night, I re-read the Second Vatican Council's Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation: Dei Verbum (The Word of God). All 16 of the council documents are available on the Vatican website (see here).
BTW, you may be surprised to learn that all 16 documents are available in Swahili, & an increasing number are available in Chinese.
Have you read Dei Verbum? It's pretty short; you can read it all in one sitting. Any impressions about it? How does your approach & practice regarding Sacred Tradition & Sacred Scripture - & the Magisterium that protects & interprets both - match up to the propositions held forth in this Spirit-inspired document?

I was brought back to this document about a week ago when listening to a talk where someone claimed Catholics don't see Scripture and Tradition as flowing from the same well. The document seems to make it pretty clear that this is in fact the case.
Christ is ultimately the source where both find their origin.
