    Hello everyone!

    I live in Russia and currently undergoing catechism with a SSPX priest. Before that I had been catechized in Novus Ordo, but I realized that the Second Vatican Council and modernism are poison.

    I have visited many trad forums but I found Cathinfo to be the best.

    God bless.
    Welcome to the forum!  I am curious what it is like trying to be a traditional Catholic in Russia.  Have you gotten a lot of pressure from family and friends because of your conversion?

    Thank you for your greeting!

    My relatives were mostly against my conversion only when I was NO.  Now they have no problem with my conversion. As for my friends and acquaintances, they are either unbelievers or Mohammedans (by the way, in Russia Mohammedans are actively proselytizing)

    There are very few Trads in Russia and only in Moscow is there a weekly TLM.

    Thank you for sharing!  I don't know why anyone would dislike your post...

    Have you ever met Father Alexander Kryssov? (https://cmri.eu/biographies)

    Do you live near Moscow or one of the SSPX missions where a priest only travels occasionally?

    Prayers for you that your coming into tradition goes smoothly.  My husband was a convert from non-denominational Protestantism.  His family was definitely skeptical when he became Catholic but since he became traditional they seem to be more supportive.  His mother isn't Catholic but has good memories of Catholic nuns.  We are hoping and praying that one day some of either his family (who are all protestant) or mine (who are mostly novus ordo) will join us in the tradition. 😇🙏

    I know about the CMRI mission in Russia, but I do not personally know their representatives.

    I currently live 2.5 hours away from St. Petersburg, where the Society holds irregular masses.

    I also hope that your relatives and your husband's relatives will turn to traditional Catholicism.

    Wow...  About 400 miles from a regular chapel...  That is hard. 

    Hopefully one day there will be more traditional Mass options for those who live in Russia.  :pray:

    And thank you.
