Traditionalism is a religious and political school of thought which holds that the Pontifical Church & State is the communitas perfecta (Latin for 'perfect society') and has within itself all the necessary resources for the ultimate purpose of sapient life - eternal salvation. Thus, it does not need to look to outside entities to fulfill any requirements or to establish relationships. Traditionalism is also associated with being conservative with regards to political freedoms, and strongly supportive of the absolute political and theological supremacy of the Pontifex.
Traditionalism is the most prevalent school of thought amongst the clergy, and all Pontifexes except for Rokossovsky have been self proclaimed traditionalists.
