The Church was split in two by the Great Schism of 1054, dividing Christians between the western, Latin-speaking Roman Catholic Church and the eastern, Greek-speaking Eastern Orthodox Church. I think the argument stands as being "Can ANY 'tradition' (routine practice established within the Church) in ANY context have a negative impact on worship and/or the Christian life, so that it would have to be modified or done away with according to proper Church protocol."

(1 Cor 15:3), "I know whom I have believed [i.e., Jesus], and I am sure that he is able to guard until that Day what has been entrusted to me.
