Young man not too bright, but very strong in piety. Attends traditional seminary. Leaves seminary at some point. Gets married to Novus girl, who shared one of his devotions. They have 2 children. Children aren't baptized until they are over 6 months old. At some point, they get divorced. Man openly courting women, talking about it on social media. Eventually gets "remarried" to black woman, who isn't even Catholic, much less traditional. Don't know how he's doing the last few years.
From the seminary to the slums.

Wow, four tragic stories in quick succession with the same writing style.
They all the have same problem. The people involved aren't prudent and the parents were foolish. Who let's their 15 yr old Catholic daughter have an non-catholic boyfriend??

I'll bet there are more stories waiting to be told as well.

I could name many success stories of Trads marrying Protestants-turned-Trads.  

I know of many success stories of novus-ordo-turned-Trads who married other novus-ordo-turned-Trads.  

I’ve also heard of bad stories with Sede women marrying non-Sede Trads and then using the “home alone” doctrine to split up the family, after years of marriage.  But this isn’t a critique of Sedeism as it is of feminism, where women can destroy marriages (with the courts approval) for any reason.  

Plenty of success stories with Trads marrying.  And some tragic stories too.


The horror stories I know of are when Trads marry indult-turned-Trads.  Or Trads marry novus-ordo-turned-Trads.  For whatever reason, this mix has a low success rate, in my experience.  It’s like the indult/novus ordo people never really convert 100%.  I’ve mostly seen this with the women.  

They attend Trad chapels, get married to Trads and then after 4-5 years, and a few children, they reverse course and (presumably after trying to get their Trad husband to change), then leave Tradition and go back to the indult/novus ordo (either alone or with the Trad husband following).  My guess is, this woman can’t shake her family ties to the novus ordo and obviously isn’t strong enough in the Faith or, she never really cared about Catholic principles to begin with.

Guys that look like they could make it with women in the secular world and then choose to convert on principle and grace, are more sincere if they "convert".

That is just my opinion, but some guys with a lot of skeletons in the closet look to see where the "trad" women are without giving two flying leaps about traditional Catholicism itself. Pretty common.

They want the traditional, submissive woman, without being traditional themself. This works if they are a good breadwinner.
