I registered on here over a year ago but never really stuck around to use the account. Given some recent things that have come to light about the forum I was posting on regularly, I've decided to utilize this account once again.
A little about myself: I am a Roman Catholic, a sedevacantist (non-dogmatic) who leans more towards the Cassiciacuм Thesis (sedeprivationism) and am not convinced by the "una cuм issue". I've been a baptized Catholic since Easter 2018, before that I was raised Methodist, became an atheist and remained one until about 2016. At that point I began to explore deistic options and found interest in Perennialist, syncretistic thinking along the lines of Rene Guenon and Julius Evola, which led to some exploration of neo-paganism such as Asatru and Roman paganism. As I was researching Rome, I started noticing connections between historical events and the Church, coupled with the Perennialist leanings I had until a quote from JRR Tolien contexualized everything for me. I went to RCIA in the Novus Ordo, and after being baptized I soon realized things were not right there and started moving towards "Traditionalist" groups, first Diocesan, then I settled with an SSPX chapel in my area circa 2019 and have remained there. In the past year I've realized that the See is Vacant based upon the definitions of the Vatican Council.
I am not here to argue with people or "convert" them to my position, but I am hoping to join in discussion that is far less accepting of modernism and the occult as my previous "home."
God bless.
