Traditional Catholic
Roman Catholics who enjoy or adhere to a more traditional practice of Catholicism. This tends to be more strict and within a Catholic context more legalistic. The traditional latin mass is admired for its solemnity and reverence. Morally they take a more traditional and harsher stance on contraception, extra-martial relationships, cohabitation, legbt+ matters, divorce, and so on... not necessarily 'radtrad' or 'sedevacantist' or 'sspx' or 'schismatic'.

"As a traditional Catholic I would rather the mass be in Latin to preserve the reference to the mass."
"You traditional Catholics lose sight of the social and communal nature that the mass was in the early church. Also how the church needs to exist in the modern world."
"That is a traditional Catholic family. See all the girls are wearing veils at mass."
