Why Catholic fundamentalists aren't traditional

Is the trad Catholic trend about tradition — or about individual proclivities? In this thought-provoking conversation, Simone Rizkallah sits down with Stephen Adubato to unpack the core ideas behind his recent article challenging the growing trend of traditionalism in certain corners of the Catholic world. He argues that, far from being truly rooted in the wisdom of the Church, many expressions of traditionalism today are better understood as a LARP—a live-action role-play—a kind of aesthetic performance art that ironically embraces modernism in its flight from the modern world. Stephen explores how this reactionary stance can devolve into ideological paganism, substituting nostalgia and rigidity for true tradition, which is always a living response to God in the present moment. He invites viewers to discern the difference between genuine continuity with the past and a superficial reenactment that forgets the purpose of tradition altogether. Stephen G. Adubato is an associate editor at Compact Magazine, professor of philosophy, and the curator of the Cracks in Postmodernity blog, podcast, and magazine.
