What Is “Liberal Traditionalism”?

7 11 2008

Within liberalism there are various streams of thought which compete over the use of the term “liberal” and may propose very different policies, but they are generally united by their support for a number of principles, including freedom of thought and speech, limitations on the power of governments, the rule of law, an individual’s right to private property, free markets, and a transparent system of government. {Source}

Traditionalism is a political philosophy that developed in Great Britain and Continental Europe around the time of the French Revolution. It tends to emphasize cultural renewal and is characterized by an adherence to the principles of tradition, prescription, custom, social order, hierarchy, organic society, orthodox religious faith, traditional marriage and the natural family, and ordered liberty. {Source}

Dolorosa:

It should go without saying that authors and theorists often mean very different things by the word “Liberal.” I think I made clear in what sense I used it.

And I don’t think Liberalism (as I espouse it) is contrary to Fr. Sarda’s tome.
