When it comes to your eternal salvation you have to be rigid.

The whole point of the Traditional Movement is "in a time of confusion, hold to what is certain."

Similar to the famous advice on the discernment of spirits, as taught in Ignatian Retreats: when disturbed, make no major changes to your life.

So yes, holding to what you know is somewhat static. Theology can't "develop" on a bunch of lifeboats. It's all we can do to KEEP THE FAITH during this epic Crisis in the Church, when diabolical confusion reigns everywhere.

Spot on, very simply put.

P.S.- Crisis magazine is rat poison, except rat poison is 99% nutritious food, while Crisis Mag is not even close.

Monks and nuns literally adhere to a Rule and daily regiment of prayer and work. Of course Tradition is rigid.
