Ehhhh I've talked to a Catholic about these alleged traditions, and he can't tell me why they exist or what purpose they serve, and certainly not where they're referenced in scripture. Maybe I just asked the wrong Catholic. I need to know that they are in fact tradition, rather than something I'm simply told is tradition. And from that point, purpose and validity are next.
