Greetings my fellow Catholics, my screen name is Steel cross. I have been baptized into the Catholic faith in my infancy. I consider myself a convert because I did not truly get into the catholic faith since the late 1990s. I always thought the novus or do mass was the traditional mass. It was the words of St. Padre Pio that caught my attention when he himself begged his superiors not to make him celebrate the mass of Vatican 2. That began my questioning.Years llater, I discovered the traditional mass, and not only did I see the difference, but I felt the difference! It lasted all day and through the next, just a huge amount of joy I cannot explain. And now I am a Traditionalist. This is my summed up story, and I still have my struggles. I even defended our faith against many non-catholics on another site that only has/had about at least 4 catholics including myself. I self deleted, but I plan on returning there with a stronger sense of our faith. I can speak of any topic.
