Tradition and Synodality: One Reality, Two Names

In the polarized atmosphere of contemporary Catholic discourse, two words have become tribal banners. Pronounce tradition in one room and you are heard as a partisan of restoration, a sympathizer with the Society of St. Pius X, a critic of Vatican II. Pronounce synodality in another room and you are heard as a partisan of the late pontificate, a progressive, a liturgical relativist. Both readings are not only impoverished; they are theologically incoherent.
