Thanks to the FBI’s leaked memo, resulting in congressional hearings and an investigation of the bureau, “Traditional Catholicism” is now a household term, used even by non-Catholics to describe this “mysterious type of Catholic” that the FBI targeted for unconstitutional investigation. Still, what is a Traditional Catholic anyway?
According to Wikipedia…
Traditionalist Catholicism is a movement that emphasizes beliefs, practices, customs, traditions, liturgical forms, devotions and presentations of teaching associated with the Catholic Church before the Second Vatican Council (1962–1965). Traditionalist Catholics particularly emphasize the Tridentine Mass, the Roman Rite liturgy largely replaced in general use by the post-Second Vatican Council Mass of Paul VI.
