What Sub-Species of Trad Are You?

JMJ

I had a lot of fun finding a bunch of words that rhyme with 'Trad' and thought that maybe some of the Trad prefixes bore a little explanation (some serious, so humorous).

Fad: A practice or interest followed for a time with exaggerated zeal. In other words, these are recent trad 'converts'who don't stay for very long.
Tad: a small or insignificant amount or degree. Someone who is a tad serious about 'Tradition' than a 'Fad-Trad'.
Gad:go around from one place to another, in the pursuit of pleasure or entertainment. Bascially a fusion of the Fad and Tad-Trads. :-)
Nad: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, a coenzyme important in many biological oxidation reactions. - I am still looking for a good description for this neat prefix.
Mad: When a Catholic realises that they have been betrayed by the modernists, they have a tendency to angry. This includes protestants who convert to the Catholic Church. The danger is if they stay made they will end up making the same mistakes as the completely fractured 'resistance' of Bishop Williamson et al.
Rad (Radical):These are trads that drift over well beyond the mad trads, becoming radicalised to take actions in defiance of Catholic Dogma, Doctrine, and principles. Typically they become either the 'resistance' or Sede-vacantists.
Bad: Closely related to the 'Rad-Trad' is the 'Bad-Trad'. They regard themselves as the bad-boys(girls) of 'Tradum', as they smoke cigarettes (+ other stuff), drink alchohol to the point where is damages their health and mental ability. Effectively, these are trad children who don't really want to be 'Trad'. How they end up this way is another question all together because they are seriously not being (or trying) good Catholics.
Cad: an ill-bred Trad, especially one who behaves in a dishonorable or irresponsible way toward women (Source)
Swad: a loutish person. A close relation of the Cad-Trad
Sad: Sad trads are dragged down by the state of the Church and world.
Glad: Happy trad who are just happy to have found a refuge in the madness of the post-Conciliar Catholic world.
Lad: Trad with 5-10 years in 'Tradum'
Dad (Senior): Trad with 25+ years in 'Tradum'
Grat: The Grateful Trad! Being grateful for what God has given us Trads (which we don't deserve) is a key to surviving this crisis ... and I'm not talking about the COVID-19.

So, what do you think of this list? Anything resonate? Anything that I should add?

Communiqué on the Meeting between Cardinal Ladaria and Fr. Pagliarani

+ JMJ I suspect that the 'resistance' will be freaking out about this ... but as with the Archbishop, when Rome calls ... they go ... even if just to let them know (again) why they do what they do. Concerning the alleged 'sell-out' I have this to say: I should update the meme ... with 2017, 18 etc. The 'resistors' should stop and think a little: We are in the 18th year of the latest sell-out frenzy. So we're still waiting. Try and reconcile the 'resistance' positions with the Catholic Faith. If it doesn't objectively sync up - admit that you're wrong and take appropriate action.

"Father, Should I Attend That Mass?" Advice on Attending Non-SSPX Latin Masses

+ JMJ I see that the 'resistors' are in a tizzy because Fr. Robinson used them as an example instead of the sedevacantists. What is interesting is that you can apply the exact same reasons against going to a sede mass as that of the 'resistors'. Namely: On the other extreme are those situations where an SSPX priest knows that a certain non-SSPX traditionalist venue is a grave danger to the faith . Frankly, most, if not all, of the Resistance Masses would fall into this category. In many cases, the behavior of these priests has been and continues to be scandalous, by their (A) spirit, their (B) preaching, and their indiscriminate conferral of the (C) priesthood and (D) episcopacy. To attend a Mass with such ongoing scandals poses a serious danger to the souls of the faithful. Yep, looking at A,B,C and D the shoe fits. On this basis the "resistors" = "sedevacantists".

Morning and Evening and other sundry Prayers

+ JMJ Along the theme of P^3 (Prayer, Penance, Patience), and for my own reference ... here is a collection of Morning and Evening prayers from the Ideal Daily Missal along with some additional prayers. In this crisis of the Church, I do not think it is possible to do too much prayer, penance and have patience. P^3

Open Letter to Cardinal Gantin - July 6, 1988

There has been some discussion (read lots) about the term 'Conciliar Church'. I have posted this letter written by the Superior General and District Superiors of the SSPX after the 1988 Consecrations. Of particular interest is that the 'Conciliar Church' being referred to as a system. My paraphrase would be that the SSPX regards the 'conciliar Church' as an error within the Church.

The Catholic Church and the Rule of Law- Part II: Dr. John Lamont

+ JMJ This is the second article from Dr. Lamont from his lecture given in May 2014. P^3 Source Part A: Society of St. Hugh of Cluny Source Part B: Society of St. Hugh of Cluny 8 May2014 The Catholic Church and the Rule of Law- Part II By John Lamont To understand how the Jesuit conception of obedience departed from earlier conceptions, it is helpful to compare it with the teaching of St. Thomas on obedience. The fundamental difference between the two is that St. Thomas considers the proper object of obedience to be the precept of the superior (2a2ae q. 104 a. 2 co., ad 3). Obedience that seeks to forestall the expressed will of the superior does not bear on what the superior wants or thinks in general, but only on what the superior intends to command. St. Ignatius’s lowest degree of obedience, which he does not consider to be virtuous, is thus what St. Thomas considers to be the only form of obedience. St. Thomas holds that St. Ignatius’s alleged higher forms of o...
