Anyone heard from him? I see he hasn't posted/been online since the 13th, and I find that odd. Is he okay?
-
That is odd that he hasn't posted for so long... I hope he's okay.
-
It is weird... I'd always click his news links and I half noticed when I clicked a little less on here but I didn't really realize until you pointed it out. Def pray :pray:
-
Yes, I’m wondering too. I hope he’s fine.
-
Bumping this thread for prayer....anyone know his first name?
-
Private message him. Maybe he is on vacation.
-
Private message him. Maybe he is on vacation.
Just did. I thought there was a time (way) in the past where he didn't allow PM's, but it looks like it is enabled again.
-
Still nothing?
:pray:
-
Yes, nothing. Matthew can you contact him at all?
I'm thinking either he lost computer access/internet, etc or he's not well.
-
Again, I hope he’s ok. Did someone message Matthew? :pray:
-
Yes, just now reported to moderator.
-
Bumping. Was reminded of him (rc1953) with the latest news of Matto. Those inclined might put together some research efforts. His posting history is highly biographical. He most recently lived in Colorado, but also lived in Texas and was born in Redondo Beach. Not sure where the best place to search obits is, but I did spend some time looking through Summer 2021 obits in Colorado Springs this morning (an assumption of mine, since in one not-so-old post he mentioned living in a Southern CO town). I did not find anything.

When RomanCatholic1953's absence was noted last year, I did a little digging on him and came up with some stuff that is discussed in this thread starting on page 2 (https://www.cathinfo.com/members-only/people-asking-about-romancatholic1953/15/). Basically, RomanCatholic1953 seems to know another forum member named s2srea and one or both of them is from Lake Arrowhead. And yes, 1953 mentioned frequently that he has lived in Colorado now for many years.
Our best bet is to reach out to s2srea and see if we can get a hold of him.
Unfortunately, RomanCatholic1953 seems to have spent most of every day on this forum. The fact that he hasn't been heard from in almost a year (I think) makes me fear the worst.

Thanks Yeti.
FTR, he was not born in 1953. 1953 was the year he was baptized (his mother was a convert), and he said he graduated in 1963 and was 18 in 1965. He attended St Lawrence the Martyr school, but I can't find an alumni list. I'm doing all this from my phone, so I don't have links handy-- but all this can be found w/in the first five-ten pages of his posting history.
We are looking for a man who was probably in his mid 70s

Thank you for trying to track him down. He was a regular on here and I miss him. I don't like not knowing what happened to him.
I'm not sure how you would find him, though, since I don't even know what his real name is. Did he ever mention that in his posts? How do you search for a guy whose name you don't even know?
-
I just got an idea. Matthew, don't you keep a record of the IP addresses that people log in from? Would you be able to look up RC1953's IP address? I'm not asking you to post it publicly, but could you tell us at least what town he lived in? Then we could look at obituaries from that area starting around the time he last posted, and we'd probably be pretty close to finding him.

Aguilar, Colorado

I really miss his prolific and informative posts.
I will pray for him, wherever he may be.
-
Thanks for looking into this again. I too thought of him after hearing about Matto.

Aguilar, Colorado
I tried looking into Colorado obits with a focus on Aguilar and don't even know where to start. There's so many and not enough info on RC1953 to go on.

We know he was born in 1947 or possibly 1948, so I tried adding 1947-2021 or 1948-2021 to the searches, but I still did not get hits that matched.
He mentioned having a brother and sister, but I do not think a wife or children, so I eliminated any mentioning these. Anything about lifelong resident of Colorado could be eliminated because he lived in Texas when he first starting posting here.
I looked through a lot of obituaries and could not find any that matched what could be deduced from his posts.
-
As I was afraid of ... He might not be dead; he might have had a stroke and become incapacitated, in which case he wouldn't show up in an obituary. But the town of Aguilar has a population of about 500 people, so it will be a lot easier to find him there than anywhere else.

If he attended Mass, it would be easy enough to ask at his parish/chapel. But he did not have a car and so could not reach the closest traditional Mass. So that line of inquiry is closed.
It might not be something as dire as a stroke. He might have lost his computer.
-
Wasn't his sister ill? That's what I remember reading as one of his last posts. He may have taken time off to take care of her.

Yes he posted on July 1:
"My own sister who had the 2 vaccines was in the hospital for 6 days and still very ill in bed is testimony of the truth
of what is really going on."

How do we know that Jayne? I assumed he was born in '53.

This is his post of introduction.

I identify myself as a Traditional Roman Catholic since I was
Baptized at St. James Roman Catholic Church, Redondo Beach,Ca in 1953 by Rev. Msgr. Daniel Collins. I came from a protestant family that have not set foot in a Catholic Church since the reformation. My Mother decided to become a Catholic through the Radio, and the Television preachings of Bishop Fulton Sheen., and the examples of her Catholic friends. My Brother, and my Sister were baptized at the same time.
In 1955 we moved to new Parish just built. St Lawrence Martyr in Redondo Beach, Ca. While the church was under construction, Mass was celebrated in a Knights of Columbus
Hall in Hollywood Riviera.
At St Lawrence, where I had my first confession, first
communion, and confirmation. I was also an altar boy, that
had no trouble with the Latin, and the Ceremonies.
I was the class of 1963, a class of baby boomers born in
the aftermath of world war 2. A average of 60 pupils per
class room. In the 6th grade, the boys, and girls attended
separate classes. All were teaching Nuns, and the tuition was
$5.00 a month.
On Sunday, there would be at lease five masses, and the
church was full of 200 people, with cry rooms with those
that have babies. The lines for Confession were always very long. In 1965, A new church was built that holds 400 people. But, at that time, the changes in the liturgy were being introduced, and Mass attendance begin to decline.
I always remained a Traditional Roman Catholic, and will
never surrender to the changes.

How do we know that Jayne? I assumed he was born in '53.
No that is the year he was baptized.
He wrote a post about the new Mass that started: "I was approaching my 17th Birthday on the First Sunday of Advent 1964 on November 29, 1964.
This is when the first changes took place such as the abolishing the prayers at the foot of the altar, and abolishing the last Gospel."

If his birthday is in December he was born in 1947. If it is in the early months of the year, he was born in 1948.

Thanks, Miseremini. Born again in '53. Depending on whether his siblings were older or younger, Jayne could be right, I might be right, or we could both be wrong. So there should be a Baptismal certificate. My Mum kept hers on display in a frame till her death in her nineties.

The brother is older and the sister is younger.

Simultaneous posts! ;)

I often thought of Tiffany, hobble de hoy and Neil obstat too.

Our best bet is to reach out to s2srea and see if we can get a hold of him.
I sent a message to s2srea back in Sept but he never responded. I don't even know if he read my PM. He did sign in a few times. Last time, Jan 14, 2022.

Thanks to a tip and a tad bit of Google-ing, I'm 90% certain I know RC1953's name.
Since a search for that name does not come up with any obituaries, I think it's safe to assume he just decided to discontinue posting.
If anyone would like to reach out to him, I'll give you the best email address I have and you can see if you get a reply.

It's hard to imagine him not posting on here. I got the impression he spent all day reading the internet and posting on this website. My fear is that is most likely still alive, but simply incapacitated by a stroke or some other serious illness. I can't imagine anything else being able to keep him off of here.

Yeah. I'm not convinced he just decided not to post here any longer/to go cold turkey like that. There was no indication that he wanted to do that.
-
I have seen posters suddenly disappear in situations in which money is tight for them. Their computer breaks and they cannot afford to repair or replace it. Sometimes they turn up months later and explain what happened.
I gather that rc1953 does not have a lot of money, so I find that a likelier scenario than that he woke up one day no longer interested in posting to CI.
-

The guy was in his 70s, he doesn't have much time left on earth, so it wouldn't surprise me if he decided to call it quits and focus on more important things, like his soul.

Of course it is possible, but I think he would have said goodbye in that situation.
