The catholic church is just really starting to see the effects of what vat II has produced. Many people say that the catholic church must adjust to the modern times and that tradition is wrong. I feel that it is tradition that has kept out the very things we are seeing today in our church.

Bless you! For those of us who remember pre-VCII days and have watched in shock awe as tradition was stripped from the Latin Mass, only to be replaced with 'novelties', 40 years feels like such a long time. Yet, as you pointed out, it was 'tradition', locked for 500 years, that hindered the flow of fresh air into the Roman Church. In the span of 2000 years, 40 is no more than a drop in the bucket.

My comment was based on the quote, which was the number one item in the list. The truth is singular and unique. Even in the case of duals, because the same truth is represented. Alternative truths don't exist.
