• Holy Week & Easter: A Time to Help - 03/26/23

  The TRADITIO Network has now been furnishing information about all facets of traditional Roman Catholicism, answering questions both privately and publicly, since 1992, longer than any other traditional site on the Internet. When we started, even the Vatican site didn't exist! We wish that we could show you all of the personal letters we have received from troubled souls who have found here clear, traditional, and honest answers to their questions. Thousands of these have reverted or converted to the traditional Roman Catholic Faith as a result. Our work has always been done free of charge, but at this time of year, we like to remind you, particularly if you have benefited personally from the TRADITIO Network, to remember to make a donation to TRADITIO as part of your almsgiving at this time of year. You may most easily make a donation to TRADITIO's work by using the convenient Make a Donation box on this page.

• New Article Added to the Fr. Denis Fahey Archive - 03/19/23

  Fr. Denis Fahey was a member of the Holy Ghost Congregation and a well-known author of the pre-Vatican II era, whose works, even today, are an inspiration for Traditional Catholics all over the world. The main thrust behind his scholarly endeavors was to bring forth the Kingship of Christ in each and every land. A new article has added to the Fr. Denis Fahey Archive department, in which traditional author Patricius Anthony treats Fr. Fahey's philosophy on organized nationalism. For further information, click on Review of The Kingship of Christ and Organized Nationalism in the TRADITIO Network's Fr. Denis Fahey Archive department.

• Read Today's Daily Commentaries from the TRADITIO Fathers

  Where every day the TRADITIO Fathers provide hard-hitting commentaries on Church news and readers' questions from an independent Traditional Catholic perspective. The Fathers' unique, provocative, often bitingly satirical commentary (after the Roman satirist Juvenal, St. Thomas More and other Saints of the Church) is based upon over half a century's personal observation of the Church, both pre- and post-Vatican II.
