How holy do we take our traditions?
Sure traditions may be helpful or obstacles, depending on our aims.
In reality: traditions belong into the cupboard.
On the other side - it's true - traditions determine our life.
But for Jesus: it's not the way into the future.
It seems he gives high appreciation to the inner heart-decisions.
Sorry: again it's not the way. "it's from within that evil intentions emerge".
Nor traditions nor heart-decisions.
A closer look into the human reality shows:
not the traditional obedience nor the individual heart-decisions
bring us salvation.
It's the communal acceptance that we need each other,
the "bread + wine" existence will bring salvation.
An exemple: to celebrate the traditional Sunday-Mass every week
or to pray daily the heart-prayer - no doubt that's good.
But without real integration into a Christian community -
there will be for baptised people to follow Jesus Christ no future.
