'There has existed throughout this writer's lifetime a diabolically inspired attack upon the ancient traditions and teachings of the Church. Our faith is that which comes to us by 'hearing'. It is that which is 'handed over' from generation to generation. The Holy Scriptures, for example, are part of Tradition, not the other way round. Tradition is the fount of Scripture. It is 'written' tradition. The same is true of the official dogmatic decrees of the Church. There is never any 'new' teaching. These decrees are merely clarifications or codifications of those traditional teachings handed down through the ages since the time of Our Lord and his twelve Apostles, and given now to us and to posterity in definitive form, by that living and breathing infallible authority, the Roman Pontiff. Neither Pope nor Council can be the origin of any dogma, merely the defender and custodian of it. It is primarily upon this point, how well did they defend and protect the traditional depositum fidei, that the judement of the soul of a pope or bishop will depend... ' 'Clarity of expression is what I miss the most in modern papal and theological teaching and writing. Thankfully, you will find no lack of clarity in the documents of these two inexpressibly beautiful dogmatic councils, nor in the catechism that was issued after Trent'. -- Charles A Coulombe
