Is it a obligation to abstain from meat on fridays again?

Pax et Bonum! For what its worth, I took the phrase “based on sacred tradition” to mean
it was “rooted” or “derived” from a longstanding tradition in the Church. The Church still takes the tradition of abstaining quite seriously, or it would not be recognized on our Catholic Calendars marked (and worded) with a fish. angeltime

When one capitalizes Sacred Tradition, it is referring to the Sacred Tradition which along with Sacred Scripture form our Catholic beliefs. It is not that these things are not taken seriously, it is that Sacred Tradition is part of Divine Revelation and is unchangeable. This is something every Catholic should be aware of. So we have to be careful when we speak of Tradition and tradition that we do not confuse the two, and also confuse others. So no, “Sacred Tradition” should not be taken in the manner you interpreted it–it has it’s own meaning as part of Divine Revelation, and that is a crucial difference. This is not being picky or legalistic–it is something essential for understanding the faith. God bless you.
