Traditionalism,
in the context of 19th-century Catholicism, refers to a theory which held that
all metaphysical, moral, and religious knowledge derives from God's revelation
to man and is handed down in an unbroken chain of tradition. It denied that
human reason by itself has the power to attain to any truths in these domains
of knowledge. It arose, mainly in Belgium and France, as a reaction to
18th-century rationalism and can be considered an extreme form of
anti-rationalism. The fundamental distrust of human reason underlying
traditionalism was eventually condemned in a number of papal decrees.

of conservatism based on the philosophy and writings of Aristotle and Edmund
Burke.[1]

emphasize the bonds of social order over hyper-individualism and the defense of

moral order, manifested through certain natural laws to which they believe
society ought to conform in a prudent manner.
Traditionalist conservatives also emphasize the rule of law in securing
individual liberty.
