“Change in many areas of life promotes interest, enthusiasm, ideas, and gives hope. Change has many facets to it. Change can be like a diamond that glistens, bearing a brilliance depicting worth. Then there is change that carries with it despair, danger, scandal and depression.

Oftentimes mankind does not look at what change truly means, or how it can influence man’s behavior, moral views, moral values and moral standards.

Change draws curiosity, but it also draws improper behavior if the change is based on mere experimentation or the change is to follow an illogical path.

Sound values and sound standards rarely need the change that some people feel will give more light to the subject. For instance, change can create, cause, encourage people to follow a more liberal point of view or a more liberal stand that can lead only to disorientation of logical sound motives, goals, or fulfillment in the physical, as well as the Spiritual life.

Few people see the dangers in extreme liberalism. It can lead to a licentious way of life, because the very act of being liberal creates a freedom that is usually based on personal opinion, or following someone else’s theory on different things, plus it many times loses the stability that is necessary for sound moral values and sound moral standards, and/or moral justice to one’s own way of life.

The word ‘conservative’ to some people sounds dull, but in reality it has a stability that is dependable, and it radiates a comfortable association with security as its foundation. Conservative attitudes, manners and way of life does not mean stingy, selfish or boring. It truly gives strength because of its serious evaluation and its obvious concern for the value of many things, rather than the frivolous or gambling that being liberal can give to one’s mind, body or Soul.

In reality, the very word ‘liberal’, when it is used in a Spiritual vein, gives an insecurity that can be not just irritating but somewhat frightening because of the seriousness of one’s Spiritual life, sight, and Goal.

For several years now, the men and women in the clerical portion of Holy Mother Church, and some in the laity portion, have played many games with two words: conservatism and liberalism. Though the word ‘conservative’ gives a feeling of strength and soundness to one’s Spiritual life, we must look at the real word that we must see and understand as the backbone, the background, and the stabilizing force upon which, in which, and with which, Roman Catholicism has based its longevity on, and this word is ‘tradition’.

Tradition has a beauty all its own, for tradition gives to Holy Mother Church what man alone, in any portion of life, cannot give. Tradition has purpose, positiveness, background, strength, and History, that cannot be denied. Tradition is historical in value, in concept and in practice. Without it, we would fall into a category of confusion and total humanistic values.

Christmas is tradition. Easter is tradition. Volumes could be written on the soundness of tradition in Holy Mother Church. Men have come and gone, women have come and gone, but tradition stands as the foundation, as the structure, as the source, as the means, as the purpose, as the stability, as the soundness, with which, by which, and in which, our Spiritual life is based, is practiced, is secured, and has Purpose, to never be destroyed. Tradition is positive. It is not just conservative, nor is it liberal. Tradition has a foundation that in its very essence gives specific times in History, something for us to follow, to abide by, to look at, and to be guided by, for the benefit of our whole being, especially for our Soul.

All of the idiotic humanistic challenges that the men in the Church, or the laity, can dream up to update Roman Catholicism are merely using the tools that satan puts before them, trying to distract the faithful who believe in tradition, to be sidetracked from the beauty of what tradition gives in its very existence.

We say that some people only go to church on Christmas and Easter. What we do not say is how effective the tradition of these two Most Important Times in Bible History can still alert mankind, and sometimes inwardly encourage mankind to take part in tradition, honoring God and feeling the need to honor God on these specific days.

It is time for mankind to stop their foolish chatter and their foolish so-called improvements in the manner of how one should relate to God in our time. So many changes have a sinister feeling, because they are so outlandish and outrageous in their feeble effort to supersede the beauty of what has already been established as tradition. Mankind will never change what tradition is to those who believe in God. What God has given us can never be destroyed by mankind, and what God has given us through His Ten Commandments and His Gifts of Love, because of That Portion of us, our Soul, never omitting the sound fact that He created us to His Image and Likeness.

In tradition there is hope. In tradition there is stability. In tradition there is sound background, sound structure, sound establishment of what we must see as God wants us to see it: a formula, a format, a manner, a means, by which, in which, through which, we can follow what He decreed was the way for us to return our Soul to Him with our name on It.”
