IV. Faith
 
  4.3 Dogma  
  Article 106-Tradition  
  Canon 2660  
  Sacred Tradition, also known as “Holy Tradition” is a term and argument used by some Religions and Cults to claim a range of Sacred Rituals, Texts and other items gain their sacredness from being dutifully and accurately transmitted generation to generation from some starting point.  
  Canon 2661  
  As a key argument for supporting and enforcing doctrine of a particular Religion or Cult, Sacred Tradition presumes the customs and rituals practiced today are the same rituals and customs practiced from the alleged beginning of a Religion or Cult and have been faithfully handed down, generation to generation. Thus to question a particular article of faith is to question the entire “alleged” history of the faith as well as the founders of the faith.  
  Canon 2662  
  The concept of apostolic succession whereby it is claimed that the powers of the twelve apostles of the religious figure known as Jesus Christ have been subsequently handed down generation to generation to the present bishops of certain Christian Religions and Cults is an example of Sacred Tradition.  
  Canon 2663  
  Sacred Tradition relies heavily on the production of alleged genuine artifacts, relics, and other forms of “proof” of existence of sacred tradition without necessarily having to argue, dispute or prove specific articles of dogma.
