For traditional sources, how does the Catholic Church distinguish between holy truth and human speculation from the same author?

Inspiration applies to Scripture, not to anything else. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia:
inspiration is nothing else but the biblical text itself. This text was destined by God, Who inspired it, for the universal Church, in order that it might be authentically recognized as His written word. This destination is essential. Without it a book, even if it had been inspired by God, could not become canonical; it would have no more value than a private revelation. That is why any writing dated from a later period than the Apostolical age is condemned ipso facto to be excluded from the canon.
Thus the only books considered to be inspired by the Catholic Church are the books of the Bible, "as they left the pen of the sacred writers"ibid
Tradition (insofar as it is distinct from Scripture) does not "override the bible" for Tradition and Scripture together form the unified Deposit of Faith.
