so do you go to SSPX or a Sede Church?
I may have to move if I want to go to the latter. I'm not sure I want to go to a SSPX anymore bc they are still connected some way or another to the Vatican II ... uh.. whatever you call it
I go to an SSPX church, if I had the option I would probably go either a resistance church or a sede church however most sede priests will not give communion do those who reject BoD and hold strictly to EENS.
Strangely, before we became Traditional, I had long been attracted to Latin. I took 4 years of Latin and 3 of classical Greek in High School. Then I won a full scholarship (as "Classics" scholarship) to Loyola University in Chicago (another Jesuit school). So I double-majored there in Latin and Greek, taking some classes in computer science and math the the University of Akron during the summers, while also attending daily Mass at Father Carley's chapel, which was not too far from the University. After seminary didn't work out, I spent 3 years as a graduate student at The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., having gotten a full scholarship there due to my GRE scores and undergraduate gradepoint average. I finished all the coursework for the Ph.D., but then never completed my tests or dissertation ... because it would have taken me another 7 years, and I was already 28 years old at that time. I went there because it was the only program in the country that focused on Biblical/Patristic Greek and Patristic/Medieval Latin. But, as a result, you had to basically take two sets of tests that were the equivalent each of the full Ph.D. at most universities, one in Classical, the other in Patristic/Medieval. And at that point, I had no real means of support other than having to get a job, and thus relegated to working full time, I figured it would take me another 7 years to finish everything up.
So that's my basic story.
That was a nice read. Interesting that you actually had the option to learn latin/greek in high school. My school only had chinese or japanese. Needless to say we had to pick one or the other and it was horrible, as most just picked chinese and mucked around as most people were not interested in learning the language, it was just a waste of time. If only the 'classics' were an option...
