Oral Tradition what?

[dmar198]

Hi Ran,
I’m curious about something.

You consistently use the expression Holy Tradition. Yet that usage is not . . . well . . . traditional, as far as I can see in the most authoritative documents of the Church. … Vatican II (mostly “Sacred Tradition;” also “Sacred Scripture and Tradition ;” “ecclesiastical traditions :” “tradition;” “traditions;” “ancient tradition;” “apostolic tradition.”)

Is it what Msgr. George Agius uses in his book? or what?

Perhaps Ranp just substituted the word “holy” for its synonym “sacred” in the phrase “Sacred Tradition.” Do you think that would be a reasonable substitution?

Possibly. But it’s an odd usage as for as I can tell; and in every case he used “holy”–not once “sacred.” I just thought it strange for someone so interested in defending the Catholic understanding of tradition to depart like that. I wonder where he got it.
