The Pope mentioned tradition in a recent address and it's a beautiful idea, but all too vaguely expressed for my taste. I would really like hear more:
"Not infrequently tradition and progress are clumsily opposed. In reality, the two concepts are integrated: tradition is a living reality, which because of this includes in itself the principle of development, of progress. It is as if saying that the river of tradition has its source in itself and flows toward the outlet."
Is this Newman-esque? It's been too long since I've read Newman.
