What is sacred tradition?
Most of the beliefs and practices found in sacred tradition have their basis in Scripture, but some do not. Catholics' belief that Mary was assumed into heaven is an example of a sacred tradition that has no reference in Scripture. The Assumption of Mary was nonetheless an important belief in the early Church, and that is why it has been passed on through the generations as part of sacred tradition. A few examples of beliefs and practices that do have their basis in Scripture would include the following: · The Apostles' Creed, an early summary of important Christian beliefs. · The role of bishops, priests, and the pope in Christian ministry. · The authority of the pope -- the belief that the pope cannot teach falsely when he speaks officially as head of the Church on matters of faith and morals. · Our understanding of the Sacraments and their place in Christian life.
