For a long time some western writers looked to “tradition” as a blind obedience to the past and a mechanical transmission of a passive deposit. In their point of view, tradition is a precise

catalogue of a set of ancient doctrines, canons and rites, or it is a museum for antiquity. Therefore, the traditional church, in their view, seems to be a solid obscurant and retrograde one,

attached to what is old simply for its antiquity.

In this simple work, I would like to explain our concept to “tradition,” through the holy Bible, the patristic thought and our practical church life.
