Questions and Answers about Catholic Church
What do Catholics believe about
tradition?
A Catholic who speaks of tradition distinguishes
between sacred tradition and human tradition. God
reveals sacred tradition which will not change: for
example, in the trinity there are three persons in
one God. On the other hand, human traditions can
change: for example the Mass can be said in Latin
for four hundred years and then be said in
vernacular languages.
