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."

America left the trad gay group in the dust and handed the reins over to a bunch of total faggots. No wonder the country has turned to shit.

Trad-Cow Disease

When a man who values all of the traditional values, but has poor self image or no ability to properly talk to the opposite sex, he will settle for a morbidly obese girl who LARPS as trad. This is mostly found in traditional religious circles, or amongst the cottage-core enthusiasts.
“Dude, what is John doing with her? Yeah she wears a floor length skirt but she’s just a veil whale!”

the Celtic trad band

A totally real band lol. Known for their hit single “Hornpipe” and nothing else. They are real. Sadly all 36 of them died in a train on tricycle accident in Finland in the 17th century so all records of their work have been lost and/or destroyed so don’t look for their work. You will NOT find anything bro
Me: name a song by a real artist
Knowledgeable dude: Hornpipe by the Celtic trad band‼️
