Introduction - quod pro nobis traditum est

Welcome to de ecclesia et liturgia + on church and liturgy.

The sub-title - quod pro nobis traditum est (Latin - "that" or "which for us is handed over") - refers to the Lord's Supper. These words demonstrate the giving and receiving of the Catholic Tradition of the Church.

Tradition is an interesting word. For example, when it is used to discuss something such as baseball or stories of national interest it is easily grasped and accepted. In the Christian religion this word may sometimes be mistakenly understood in negative terms as being in opposition to the Scripture and the faith. This is a gross misunderstanding that is usually a confusion of the Tradition, which is in line with divine revelation, with particular practices, "traditions", that are questioned or rejected, usually with little investigation or reflection. These traditions may have to do more with cultural tastes and expectations rather than with a sense or appreciation of the transcendent role that Tradition plays in handing over the faith. This Tradition leads us back to the Sacrament that for us is handed over, the center of the liturgy and life for the Church.

This blog hopes to offer an alternative to the triple "A" (Adiaphora, Anti-nomianism, Anti-Catholicism) that sometimes may be obstacles to reasoned discussion of theology and liturgy. Enjoy!

quaecumque enim scripta sunt ad nostram doctrinam scripta sunt ut per patientiam et consolationem scripturarum spem habeamus

- Romans 15:4

Noli neglegere gratiam quae in te est quae data est tibi per prophetiam cum inpositione manuum presbyterii.

- 1 Timothy 4:14

+ Deo gratias

Which Church Father Am I?


You’re Origen!

You do nothing by half-measures. If you’re going to read the Bible, you want to read it in the original languages. If you’re going to teach, you’re going to reach as many souls as possible, through a proliferation of lectures and books. If you’re a guy and you’re going to fight for purity … well, you’d better hide the kitchen shears.

Find out which Church Father you are at The Way of the Fathers!

Which Church Father Am I? Part 2


You’re St. Melito of Sardis!

You have a great love of history and liturgy. You’re attached to the traditions of the ancients, yet you recognize that the old world — great as it was — is passing away. You are loyal to the customs of your family, though you do not hesitate to call family members to account for their sins.

Find out which Church Father you are at The Way of the Fathers!

He is no perfect preacher, who either, from devotion to contemplation, neglects works that ought to be done, or, from urgency in business, puts aside the duties of contemplation.
- Gregory the Great (Moralia Book VI, 56; lectionarycentral.com)


"We wish to help Christians to place within their knowledge of God the many ways that are offered to them, to love the Bible without depreciating theology, and to study theology without neglecting mysticism."
- Jean Danielou, writing in the Foreward to his book, God And the Ways of Knowing
