Decrees Introd. 5 No sound Catholic could hold the opinions on Traditionalism taught at Louvain. 1885Cath. Dict. (ed. 3), Traditionalism, a system of philosophy in which intellectual cognition, so far as the human mind is concerned, is reduced to belief in truth communicated by revelation from God, and received by traditional instruction through the medium of language, which was originally itself a supernatural gift. This system is also called Fideism, and is a reaction from the extreme of rationalism into an opposite extreme of anti⁓rationalism. De Bonald (d. 1840) is regarded as its author.
2. Adherence to traditional doctrine or theory; maintenance of, or submission to, the authority of tradition; excessive reverence for tradition: esp. in matters of religion.
