Tradition is the cure for elitism.

In the past I would have agreed but I'm seeing, especially lately, that it has become its own elitism. Look at the link I posted several posts up. This is a person most here respect but has gone off the deep end criticizing everything this new Pope does, even the way he genuflects.

Well, you are pointing out one person who says some silly things but that doesn’t somehow undo tradition or traditionalism. Just look at the loony crap spewed everyday by anti-traditionalists about the SSPX and tell me what they prove about the other position? Just consider all the conservatives who say ridiculous and painfully stupid things regarding politics. Should we accept that because they do that we should become liberals? Tradition does not belong to traditionalists, they just love it, and their failings do not mean that tradition is at fault. Ours is a revealed religion and if we accept that tradition is unnecessary then we can just throw the whole thing out. After all, everything we believe about the Bible is just more tradition.

You have a unique definition for the words most and respect.

Most Catholics here think that Ann Barnhardt is a certifiable nut.
