  Seattle Catholic - Common Ground on the Catholic Crisis
Traditionalists see the attitudes which today prompt priests and laity to transform the liturgy into their own personal performance, as merely the most recent manifestation of a desire which led reformers to significantly alter the Mass; conservatives see the two as conflicting trends — one of legitimate progress and the other, unwarranted destruction.
Although a traditionalist case has never been stated as such (at least to my knowledge), the silver bullet to all citations of post-conciliar decline is presumed to be a similar pre-conciliar citation — be it a quote from Pius XII or a disturbing statistic from the 1950's.
Traditionalists commonly take both John XXIII's claim that all prior teaching was to remain intact, and the repeatedly stated "pastoral" intention of the Council to indicate that the correct interpretation is that which is in conformity with previous teachings.

To the extent that Gibson is a well-known traditionalist, and the son of an even better known traditionalist with bizarre and well-documented views, understanding traditionalism contributes indirectly to understanding Mel Gibson.

Officially-speaking the indult is merely a liturgical concession granted to certain Catholics who have a personal attachment to the old rite of Mass—it is in no way a license to reject or criticise the new Mass, Vatican II, or the various post-Vatican II changes in the Church.
Under normal circumstances a Catholic diocese (or 'see') is said to be sede vacante when there is no resident bishop, which can be, e.g., when the local bishop has died and one is yet to be appointed; in such instances official diocesan correspondences carry the words sede vacante in place of the bishop's name.

 Point of View, Traditional Catholic Reflections & Reports, Stephen Hand Editor TCRNews.com,   (Site not responding. Last check: )
What these traditionalists miss is the deeply personal and prudential nature of the judgment as to how intensely and absolutely one should embrace a particular traditionalist, historical and ecclesial narrative and practice, for such narratives are inherently fallible, and such practices are not morally obligatory; neither come with a magisterial mandate.
Any Catholic is perfectly in his rights either to lessen or increase the vehemence of his loyalty to a particular, non-infallible, traditionalist polemic, strategy, or practice—including one’s attendance at the Tridentine Mass.
Catholics must be especially alert to the unrecognized—because much more subtle—malignant effects of having been habituated into the gnostic "tradition" of anti-tradition, infecting both the post-conciliar Church and the culture at large.

 My <Second Catholic Conversion>: A Reductio ad Absurdum of So-Called Catholic <Traditionalism>   (Site not responding. Last check: )
As more and more Catholics are beginning to acknowledge that Pope John Paul II's pontificate has been at least a very mixed bag or even disastrous in some ways, Mark Shea appears to have shifted into "defend John Paul II at all costs" gear, regardless of extreme mental gymnastics he must undergo to do so.
Now, however (I am happy to report), traditionalists are becoming much more consistent and adopting a thoroughgoing skepticism which is fit for the times and much-needed as a wake-up call to the deluded neo-Catholics, who defend the post-Vatican II novelty of regime in a trance-like stupor.
We Catholic traditionalists are the small remnant who have kept the faith and True Tradition inviolate, while the neo-Catholic dupes and useful idiots are compromising it all around us.

 Blogging the Catholic Church in the British Isles
Possibly the biggest challenge would be the fact that a lot of Catholics probably don't know about the Church's Social Teaching, and some might even actively oppose it, knowingly or not.
The Catholic Church in the UK is really numerically pretty big and could influence people a lot for the good, but the fact is we don't manifest much unity.
That's my experience; the lack of a common Catholic culture in the UK, which would enhance and enliven and help to unite all the extant cultures, is just because we don't acknowledge and live our unity in Christ.

 Dr. John C. Rao: Can Traditionalists Learn From the Opera dei Congressi?
American Catholics have long pointed to the growth of the Church in the United States as proof of the validity of the pluralist thesis, and they have worked politically to defend the blessings bestowed upon them by it.
In consequence, Catholic political activity, even in countries which pay lip service to the importance of “God”, now amounts to the zealous protection of a “natural religion” and a private “freedom” over whose meaning believers have no control at all; one whose practical significance is exposed to constant violation and progressive reduction.
Italian Catholics were, in short, being trained by this unique organization for the day when direct participation would once again became possible, and, one should also note, in how to use all moral opportunities to make that possibility come about more quickly.

And conservative Catholics, for whom this pope is as big an icon as Vatican II was for an earlier generation, moved from having been opposed to the council and wary of the changes it had wrought to arguing that they were its truest heirs.
Conservative Catholics, then, have begun to flex their muscles publicly as Catholics who are conservatives, and not vice versa.

While Catholics often ridicule non-Catholics for denominational division, they are hypocritically silent and do their best to hide the frequent 'family conflicts', even wars going on between the various types of Catholics.
Catholics regularly boast of their "unity" and hypocritically ridicule the remainder of Christendom for their "endless divisions", erroneously citing the existence of upward of 30,000 denominations (1).

 Traditional Catholicism 101: A Brief Primer
Traditionalists are not some "branch of the Church," or some "splinter group"; they are simply Catholics to whom the adjective "traditional" applies.

 Journal of Religion and Film: Sectarian Catholicism and Mel Gibson by Michael G. Lawler
[6] A core doctrine of this hierarchical model of Church is the doctrine that the Roman Catholic Church is the one, true Church established by Jesus Christ on the foundation of Peter the Rock.
[8] Another important corollary of the doctrine that the Roman Catholic Church is the one, true Church of Christ relates to sacred scripture and its interpretation, and is at the heart of both Gibson’s project and the reaction to it.
[12] Another issue fueling both Catholic and Jewish concern about the visual presentation of Jesus passion and death in Gibson’s movie is that he is drawing his image-information not only from the passion narratives in the gospels but also from the visions of a nineteenth-century Augustinian nun, Anna Catherina Emmerich.

 Biblical Evidence for Catholicism
So it is still attempting to create division in the Church and separate Catholic believers into a superior-subordinate relationship, with the "traditionalists" being the ones who "get it" and the "neo-Catholics" being dupes and fellow travellers of their liberal overlords in the lower hieracrchies of the Church.
Catholic (in its deepest sense) means "orthodox", so to say that one is a "new Catholic" is to say that one espouses a "new kind of orthodoxy," which, of course, is a self-contradiction.
The New Catholics who practice this new strain of Catholicism are distinguished by their seemingly inexhaustible willingness to defend, in the name of "obedience," every destructive innovation of the past 40 years, merely because some level of ecclesiastical authority has approved it.

Catholics of the SSPX, SSPV, CMRI and so forth are as much involved and committed to upholding the Social Reign of Christ and fighting abortion and the overall "culture of death" as anyone in his "conservative" category.
Many conservatives and traditionalists within the Catholic Church hold this document to be sacrosanct and see within the Second Vatican Council and the subsequent developments which have taken place within the church a direct contradiction to this traditional teaching and thus the heresy of modernism.
