What were the traditions the Apostles taught and lived by?

What tradition are you talking about, tradition, or Tradition? The Apostles taught what Jesus Christ taught them, as well as the teachings that were by the Holy Spirit that was given to them through Divine Revelation. The Catholic Church has preserved those teachings for 2000 years, and the Church has also defined and developed those teachings in order to clarify them. Those sacred Traditions were taught by the Apostles and handed on to others called Bishops so that those teaching would be preserved faithfully. Those teachings were also written down, that is, the Bible. But what that written word means (Tradition )has been preserved by the Church through Apostolic Succession.
