Rad Trad

A short form of the term Radical Traditionalist. A 'Rad Trad' is a Catholic who adheres to pre-1960's traditions, especially the Latin Mass in favour of the Novus Ordo (post-Vatican II mass). They're basically hardcore for all things pre-Vatican II and they reject aspects of modern Catholicism. Most would consider themselves in union with the Catholic Church, though.

"Lately, after Mass, he keeps on saying how he wishes our parish had Latin Mass instead. I’m starting to think he might be turning into a Rad Trad."
