Faith Q&A › Catechism › 5. Holy Tradition

Has the life of the Church taken anything from holy tradition?

The answer

We saw above that the tradition of the Church is the continuous stream of life in Christ Jesus, through the work of the Holy Spirit. This life encompasses the Church’s spiritual and ethical programs, as well as her order of worship. As such, tradition represents the “oneness” of life in the Church, one interconnected life that cannot be divided into separated components such as faith, spiritual teaching, and worship.
