  2008: Fourteenth Anniversary of the TRADITIO Network - 09/29/08

  Today, the Feastday of St. Michael the Archangel, TRADITIO's heavenly patron, is the fourteenth anniversary of the TRADITIO Traditional Roman Catholic Network. The TRADITIO Network is the most popular traditional Roman Catholic site on the internet, as determined in a statistical survey performed by an Amazon.com search subsidiary. TRADITIO was also the first traditional Roman Catholic site to appear on the internet. We appeared on September 29, 1994 -- even before the Newvatican's web site appeared.

  It is humbling to realize that we have now touched some 8,500,000 souls, many of whom would never have learned about Traditional Catholic Movement except from the TRADITIO Network. Our file bulges with thousands of messages from readers who have found the true Roman Catholic Faith, or have re-found it, because of the TRADITIO Networks's direct and uncompromising presentation of the traditional Roman Catholic Faith in increasingly confusing times.

  During our fourteen years we have tried to focus on the Big Picture of what is going on in the Church. Our subtitle tells our mission: "The Independent Voice of Traditional Roman Catholicism from 1994." There are some differences of opinion in the Movement, but these pale in comparison with the essentials of the Big Four on which all traditional Roman Catholics are united: the Traditional Latin Mass, the Traditional Latin Sacraments, Traditional Roman Catholic Doctrine, and Traditional Roman Catholic Morality.

  We thank the Lord for our correspondents all over the world, who keep us current on everything going on in the bowels of Newvatican, in the inner sancta of various traditional organizations such as the Society of St. Pius X, and at the many Traditional Latin Mass sites in North America and around the world. To this raw data, the TRADITIO Network gives what no other site does: not the perspective of some johnny-come-lately convert from the New Order, but decades of knowledge, analysis, and perspective extending to before Vatican II. The truth is not to be found in mere information, but in the seasoned and sagacious analysis and interpretation of the raw material from long experience and observation. That is what the TRADITIO Network alone presents: the classical Catholic approach.

  If TRADITIO has been of assistance to you over these many years, please remember us on this our anniversary date, and say a prayer for the intercession of our powerful patron St. Michael, for all the traditional clergy, for the true Church as a whole, and for our Roman Catholic civilization:

  Sancte Michael Archangele, defende nos in praelio. Contra nequitiam et insidias diaboli esto praesidium. Imperet illi Deus, supplices deprecamur. Tuque princeps militiae caelestis, Satanam aliosque spiritus malignos, qui ad perditionem animarum pervagantur in mundo divina virtute in infernum detrude. Amen.
