Great point. Traditionalists have the premise that there is some esoteric knowledge hidden from the mundane in some hilltop monastery when in truth those obscure ultra-traditional monks will practice the same doctrinal form of Christianity as the average priest does only that applied with greater care and profoundness with the support of a community in retreat. Then, when they send people looking for the metaphysical tradition in those places, they are forced to conclude that the tradition is somehow lost, when there wasn't any, to begin with. What has already been "revealed" it's all that there is, there is no "hidden gnosis", only commitment, and love of God.
>This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet: “I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter what has been hidden since the foundation of the world.”
