  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

When does Sacred Tradition "end?"

while there are specific things found in Sacred Tradition, such as Assumption of the Virgin Mary.

I would say that the bulk of Sacred Tradition is simply the proper understanding of Scripture that has been handed down from the Apostles

so in a way, Sacred Tradition is really the same as orthodoxy?

I am just throwing out ideas, sorry I do not have a more solid answer

The canon of the Holy Scriptures is closed already, but I was just wondering if Sacred Tradition has "ended" (i.e.: it finished with the death of the last apostle), and if so, when exactly did this happen?

Read the Catechism. The only time things need cleared up is when a new 'issue' comes forth such as invitro-fertilization [et al].

Otherwise - Tradition is set - all answers to modern problems stem outward from that.

The Assumption and so forth are made dogma - per the Tradition of the Church.
The defining of such Tradition is when they are announced and named. AKA defined for clarity. :thumbsup:
