Sensus Traditionis

"This website is dedicated to the defense of the orthodox Catholic faith as well as a promotion of serious academic thought in the areas of Catholic theology and philosophy. One of the tragedies of modern Catholic thought is that it lacks the depth given by previous generations of the same issues. It is for this reason that this website was started, i.e. to aid the Church in recapturing the intellectual rigor it once had. The heresy of modernism has begun affecting the members of the Church by making them content with a superficial approach to and an explanation of their religion. One of the ways to combat this problem in the Church is to promote studies that draw the students into the depth and richness which Catholic thought can provide. However, none of that is possible without a deep sense of our indebtedness to tradition as well as a strong developed sense of the value of the those traditions." (Mission Statement.)

Sensus Traditionis contains, among other things, a handful of excellent articles (here) by Fr. Chad Ripperger, FSSP. Titles include: The Spirituality of the Ancient Rite of Mass, Modern Philosophy and the Liturgical Development, Operative Points of View, The Natural Law Basis of Home Schooling, Christian Art and Culture, Modern Man's Superiority Complex, etc.
