text: Actually I am not sure what "traditionalists" actually means.
  
  I believe in Scripture and Tradition, tradition in the sense of a lot of corporate thinking and decisions made over 2000 years on mostly matters of faith and morals, and how God wants to help us and deal with us.  Unity over space and time. 
  
  I absolutely deny that traditionalists say that we are not to think.
  
  I believe God wants us to never stop thinking our way toward Him, and thus toward each other.  But we have to get the order right.
  
  It's an obligation in fact for Catholic when he/she runs across some matter of teaching that appears unacceptible or notrright to unflagglingly think about the matter, read about it, consult others on the matter, until a "unity" is worked out, where there is no conflict left remaining.
  
  Conflict, in this case intellectual conflict, is a form of disunity....and we are called to be one with Him, using all the means and faculties He gave us.
  
  And one of the means He gave us is His Church.
