A fantastic article from Aristotle Papanikolaou:
I Am a Traditionalist; Therefore, I Am
His conclusion, if you want a taste of the article:
I Am a Traditionalist; Therefore, I Am
His conclusion, if you want a taste of the article:
We should, thus, recognize our common presuppositions; affirm those common presuppositions, especially the dogmas, as ground rules for debate; and we need to stop using words like “traditionalist,” “traditional values,” and “Orthodox morality,” which only obfuscate what we share in common or, at worst, become rhetorical tools for demonization. These words are conversation stoppers, which, for anyone who knows the history of Christianity, is actually antithetical to the living Tradition.
