What about traditions that have been left behind over the year?

Note — a tradition is different from a discipline. For example celibacy is a discipline, not doctrine. We have married Catholic priests — in the Maronite, Syro-Malabar etc. rites of the Catholic Church. A discipline can be changed, but not dogma (eg. we cannot have women priests, openly homosexual priests must be defrocked)
