Christ makes St. Peter the first Pope and entrusts all power on earth to Peter and His successors
(Matthew 16:18):
Et ego dico tibi quia tu es Petrus et super hanc petram
aedificabo ecclesiam meam et portae inferi non praevalebunt
adversum eam

THE HOLY FATHER

The Roman Pontiff, as the successor of Peter, is the
perpetual and visible principle and foundation of unity
of both the bishops and of the faithful.
LUMEN GENTIUM, 23

Pope John Paul II's Apostolic Letter "Ecclesia Dei"regarding those Catholics who prefer the Traditional Latin Rite of the Holy Catholic Church:
 
 
"c) moreover, respect must everywhere be shown for the feelings of all those who are attached to the Latin liturgical tradition, by a wide and generous application of the directives already issued some time ago by the Apostolic See for the use of the Roman Missal according to the typical edition of 1962."

Ecclesia Dei

A bold statement of truth by the Vicar of Christ, St. Pope Leo IX:

Pope Saint Leo IX, A.D. 1049-1054): [regarding the eastern so-called "Orthodox" schismatics]: "If you live not in the body which is Christ, you are none of His. Whose, then, are you? You have been cut off and will wither, and like the branch pruned from the vine, you will burn in the fire - an end which may God's goodness keep far from you."

"So little does the Roman Church stand alone, as you think, that in the whole world any nation that in its pride dissents from her is in no way a church, but a council of heretics, a conventicle of schismatics, and a synagogue of Satan."

notice the scripture Matthew 16:18 written on the ceiling..."Tu es Petrus"

A favourite quote of mine from His Holiness Pope Paul VI:

Pope Paul VI, A.D. 1963-1978: "Not without sorrow can we hear people continually claiming to love Christ but without the Church; to listen to Christ but not to the Church; to belong to Christ but outside the Church. The absurdity of this dichotomy is clearly evident in this phrase of the Gospel: "Any one who rejects you, rejects me."" (Evangelii Nuntiandi)

"The International Una Voce Federation has played an important role in supporting the use of the 1962 edition of the Roman Missal in obedience to the directives of the Holy See. For this valuable service I express my gratitude to the members of the Federation and extend my blessing."

                                          SACRED MUSIC
Experience the ancient Gregorian Chants.  These chants are Sacred Music and have always been.  Only the Latin Chants are considered Sacred Music.  Be prepared to be moved to tears with the Holiness and Solemnity of these Chants of the early Church Fathers.  The Martyrs and Saints who gaves their lives willingly for the name of Christ and His Holy Catholic Church loved and prayed these beautiful Holy songs in the Latin mass...the Mass of ALL TIME.

QUICUMQUE VULT SALVUS ESSE, ANTE OMNIA OPUS EST, UT TENEAT CATHOLICAM FIDEM:
NISI QUISQUE  INTEGRAM INVIOLATAMQUE SERVAVERIT, ABSQUE DUBIO IN AETERNEM  PERIBIT--
Whoever wishes to be saved,  needs above all to hold to the Catholic Faith; unless each one preserves this whole and inviolate, he will without a doubt perish in eternity - Athanasian Creed

Welcome to tradition. In this site will be explainations of what it means to be Catholic.
I shall attempt to illustrate for you,  dogmatic teachings of Holy Mother Church, the One True Faith. 
I wish to point out a few things first off. 
I am what some call a "Traditional Catholic", which means I preferr the Liturgy and sacraments using the Roman Missal of 1962.
Our Holy Father, Pope John Paul II has made it clear that "respect everywhere must be shown" to those who have an attatchment to the Mass as said using the 1962 Missal. 
I am not Schismatic.  I do not endorse nor approve of anyone person or organization that places themselves above the Authority of the Roman Pontiff.  Such groups (and they know who they are so there is no need to list them all here)  cause division among our brethren and grieve the Holy Spirit. 
I am a Roman Catholic, Loyal to Pope John Paul II and Obedient to Holy Mother Church in Rome.
     Please keep in mind this is a work in progress.
DEO GRATIAS!!!
Please pray for His Holiness John Paul II  and also for the apparently "schismatic" Canadian Bishops who often seem to blatantly oppose and disregard the Soverign Pontiff.

This site is intended for the instruction of the faithful, the salvation of souls and giving Glory to God through His One, Holy Catholic and apostolic Church ---outside of which no one at all can be saved.  I would very much appreciate feedback and suggestions or even material that you would like to see included.  I will also be pleased to provide a link to your good Catholic website.  Please contact me at
Dominus Vobiscum!
