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?

Comparision of the Tridentine, Cranmer and Novus Ordo Masses

+ JMJ I downloaded the comparison that was linked in the previous article on the mass (here) . ... a very good reference! P^3 From: Whispers of Restoration (available at this link) . CHARTING LITURGICAL CHANGE Comparing the 1962 Ordinary of the Roman Mass to changes made during the Anglican Schism; Compared in turn to changes adopted in the creation of Pope Paul VI’s Mass in 1969 The chart on the reverse is a concise comparison of certain ritual differences between three historical rites for the celebration of the Catholic Mass Vetus Ordo: “Old Order,” the Roman Rite of Mass as contained in the 1962 Missal, often referred to as the “Traditional Latin Mass.”The Ordinary of this Mass is that of Pope St. Pius V (1570) following the Council of Trent (1545-63), hence the occasional moniker “Tridentine Mass.” However, Trent only consolidated and codified the Roman Rite already in use at that time; its essential form dates to Pope St. Gregory the Great (+604), in whose time the R...

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

Outside the Church - Part 2

I came across this article on Catholicapologetics.info and realized that it would mesh nicely with part 1 of this topic. I also have included the full text of the letter to Archbishop Cushing. The doctrine 'Outside the Church There is No Salvation' - is usually misunderstood by both Modern and Traditional Catholics. These two references provide a good overview of the Church teaching on this matter.

SSPX and the Resistance - A Comparison Of Ecclesiology

Shining the light of Church Teaching on the doctrinal positions of the SSPX and the Resistance. Principles are guides used to aid in decision making. It stands to reason that bad principles will lead to bad decisions. The recent interactions between Rome and the SSPX has challenged a number of closely held cultural assumptions of people in both sides of the disagreement. This has resulted in cultural skirmishes in both Rome and the SSPX. Since it is the smaller of the two, the skirmishes have been more evident within the SSPX. The cultural fault-line that Bishop Fellay crossed appears to be linked to two points of Catholic Doctrine: Ecclesiology and Obedience. The cultural difference of view points is strong enough that it has resulted in the expulsion of a number of members. It should also be noted that some other priests expelled since the beginning of the latest interactions (starting in 2000) held the same view points and have joined with the l...

A Look Back: A short history of the SSPX

+ JMJ I started a timeline a while back but never finished it. Fortunately, here's one that brings us up to 1994!!! P^3 http://archives.sspx.org/SSPX_FAQs/a_short_history_of_the_sspx-part-1.htm A short history of the SSPX A presentation given by Fr. Ramon Angles in Kansas City, MO, on the 25th Anniversary of the founding of the SSPX and reprinted from the January 1996 issue of The Angelus . Part 1 The history of the Society of St. Pius X begins, of course, in the mind of God. But do not believe that its temporal origin is to be found solely at the time of the post-conciliar crisis. The Society of St. Pius X was made possible ...
