Can I use Second Tradition: Domain to block a bleed? Of course the
reacting Vampire, say Democritus, is a Justicar and he is tapped.

There's nothing to the contrary, so of course.

Only if you need the intercept.

So if there is NO stealth I can not use it to block a bleed. Correct?

Correct, unless you have negative intercept.

Hmmm. That's how we always played it, until we saw the wording on the
V:tES edition of the card, which convinced us otherwise. Is this
considered errata?

BTW, are there any websites available that list all current rulings,
errata etc.

The Rules Team doesn't consider this ruling to be errata.

Could he also use it if untapped in need of intercept? That
has always seemed to be the most straightforward interpretation
of the card to me, but I seem to remember some official hemming
and hawing over it at one point.

No. Card text on the VtES version (errata to the Jyhad version)
says "Only usable by a tapped vampire".
