	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Tradition and Living Magisterium
		In the first sense it is an old tradition that Jesus Christ was born on 25 December, in the second sense tradition relates that on the road to Calvary a pious woman wiped the face of Jesus.
		At first there was question only of traditions claiming a Divine origin, but subsequently there arose questions of oral as distinct from written tradition, in the sense that a given doctrine or institution is not directly dependent on Holy Scripture as its source but only on the oral teaching of Christ or the Apostles.
		The designation of unwritten Divine traditions was not always given all the clearness desirable especially in early times; however Catholic controversialists soon proved to the Protestants that to be logical and consistent they must admit unwritten traditions as revealed.

	Tradition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A tradition is a story or a custom that is memorized and passed down from generation to generation, originally without the need for a writing system.
		Traditions are also frequently changed to suit the needs of the day, and the changes quickly become accepted as a part of the ancient tradition.
		In the Orthodox Church, scripture is considered to be the core constituent of a larger tradition.

	Tradition
		Tradition understood as "the action of transmitting" was nevertheless in common usage in France up to the end of the 18th century and is still part of today's legal lexicon.
		Tradition is not the body of customs but rather that which derives from the philosophia perenis.[8] Far from encompassing a body of observed and accepted rules, it constitutes a doctrine voluntarily and consciously transmitted as principles -- a series of transcendental truths of permanent worth and of non-human origin.
		Thus conceived, Tradition is defined as a coherent body of intangible and sacred principles imposed on all which delineates the essential rules of conduct, allowing man to accede to the supra-human level, allowing the homo to detach from the humus, to pass from the terrestrial to the celestial order.

		The distinguishing characteristics of tradition are ritual and repetition.
		Traditions will continue to be sustained insofar as they can effectively be justified - not in terms of their own internal rituals, but as compared to other traditions or ways of doing things.
		Like tradition, addiction is about the influence of the past upon the present; and as in the case of tradition, repetition has a key role.

	The Future of Tradition by Lee Harris - Policy Review 131 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Those defending a tradition at all costs must adopt the relativist view that there is no higher standard by which to judge one tradition against another, as this is the only way to make sure that tradition may not be overthrown by the confrontation with such a standard.
		For when confronted with any particular tradition, we now have two different criteria to evaluate its usefulness — first, the usefulness of the tradition’s base, the visceral code out of which the social structure of the community is created, and second, the usefulness of the tradition’s ideological superstructure.
		Thus, a tradition can be a passive inheritance from the past that weighs heavily on the present generation or a vehicle for actively transforming the present generation in accordance with the pattern set by the borrowed tradition.

		I suppose one could find inconsistencies and contradictions within the tradition, in which case the purpose of ethical inquiry is to "purge" the "impurities" which mar the tradition, but that doesn't address what we do when the superstructure itself is flawed.
		Tradition is almost by definition passive, all it demands of us is to do what what we've always done.

	SVS: Education Day Articles: Fr John Behr
		What Paul "traditions" as the basis of the Christian faith is the understanding and proclamation of the crucified and exalted Christ "according to the Scriptures," referring, not to the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, but to the Law, the Psalms and the Prophets.
		The "tradition" which the apostles have bequeathed to us, therefore, is not fixed in one text (we have four Gospels, after all, presenting the versions of the four evangelists).
		Rather the "tradition" in which we stand, as Orthodox Christians, is the contemplation of Christ "according to the Scriptures," remaining true to the deposit handed over by the apostles, yet with our faces towards the future, towards the one who is still coming.

	Traditionalism
		Divine or Sacred Tradition comes to us from the apostles and is built up, by way of dogmatic development, by the Magisterium (teaching office) of the Church, exercised by the Apostolic College (the bishops in union with the Pope) or the Pope personally.
		Ecclesiastical traditions, on the other hand, are not part of the Catholic faith but of the way of life of the Church, as determined by legitimate authority, in various ages and places.
		Pious traditions must be subject to ecclesiastical tradition, which in turn must be subject to Sacred Tradition.

		Because John Paul kept intact the idea of a commonly held tradition, the Catholic Church as a whole--not just its disaffected parts in the U.S. and Europe--will surely move on to confront the by-now-familiar claims being made on it to "change" and adjust to the modern world.
		The erosion of social tradition happened in the long-ago "due process" lawsuits that effectively took control of decorum in public schools away from principals who'd held it for most of the 20th century--when there was no "schools" problem.
		Another important use of social tradition is that it gives people a deeper common identity, but even that bare minimum is in decline here.
