Tradition and anti-tradition

The various processes taking place in the world cannot be adequately rationalized apart from their connection with the historical growth and development of the Church. Te sacred experience of church life, collected throughout history, constitutes the entirety of the Tradition of the Church, which correlates with the “lesser traditions” of various communities and individual saints. Te “shadowy side” of this process of the historical growth of Tradition is another, parallel process: the collection of anti- tradition, the hypostatic experience of fighting against God, which copies, with defects, the experience of true relations between God and men in the Church. Te gradual growth of anti-tradition and its struggle against the Church increases the degree to which the weaker members and parts of the Church fall away from it, driving the world toward the anti-Christian recapitulation of the last times
