We welcome back Fr. John Perricone to examine how the term “traditional Catholic” has, in some contexts, taken on a derogatory connotation, even within sectors of the Church’s own hierarchy. What does it truly mean to be a “traditional Catholic,” and how can this identity be properly understood apart from caricature or misuse? How might a renewed embrace of the Church’s beautiful and sacred traditions prove beneficial for all Catholics?
