It should have been a question when you registered. If I recall correctly, it takes some time or a certain number of posts before access to the men's or women's boards is allowed. It also takes a certain number of posts before being able to up/down thumb, meant to deter trolls.

P.S.
Welcome to CI!
Okay, time will probably tell then. And thanks!

Hi, I'm another FE defector, ha. I lurked over there for a few years, had an account for a brief time, but ultimately decided not to stick around. I learned of its sordid history and experienced quite a lack of hospitality, charity, and users who I could relate to. It's nice in theory, but not in practice I guess. I don't mean to dredge any of that up over here though.

I live in the SE US in a pretty conservative diocese and attend a diocesan TLM, but lament the lack of SSPX chapels nearby. My husband and I joke (?) frequently about picking up in the middle of the night and moving to St. Mary's. But truthfully, as far as Catholicism in the US goes, we're blessed here.

I have two little kids and pray that God blesses our family with more. I homeschool, dabble in art, love writing and editing, and enjoy the outdoors. We live in a pretty rural spot and I wouldn't have it any other way.

My husband and I are converts from atheism. This happened in 2018 with the birth of our first child. We attribute it to parenthood and the influence of Our Lady of Fatima which is a cool story, but a long one...so probably better suited for a different thread at a different time.

Thanks y'all. God bless.

Welcome, good to see another fellow FE refugee here. I'm amazed to see that your conversion happened around the same time as my own, which I too attribute to Our Lady of Fatima!

Greetings in Christ brothers & sisters,
I hope you are all doing well, spiritually and temporally, during this blessed Lent.

I am a convert to Roman Catholicism. I was baptized by the late Fr. Bourmaud and confirmed by Bishop Fellay last year. I was a Catechumen prior to that for approximately two years. I came to the Church through the SSPX, but I now attend the Holy Sacrifice at various parishes associated with other groups depending on the circuмstances of my weekly schedule.

I am not a Sedevacantist, but I think it is a valid theological opinion to hold. I am, however, a dedicated follower and admirer of Fr. Feeney, Fr. Wathen, and Archbishop Lefebvre; God rest their holy souls.

I am married with children, but separated from my wife. She was vehemently opposed to my conversion and decided that she no longer wanted to be with me after I became Catholic. I used to violently hate Christianity like her too; actually more than her, but my heart was guided by the Graces of God. She wants to raise the children to hate the Church and I for them to love the Church. It’s a very painful situation. Please pray for her conversion.

I am currently resuming my pursuit of a Civil Engineering degree as I had to stop schooling for a while to support my family.

I joined this forum because I am quite lonely; especially as a Traditional Catholic. I don’t really have any friends and I don’t have many family members who are alive. I hope to make good friends here. More than anything else though, I want to make it to heaven even though I am unworthy of such a dream.


Lastly, I hope to contribute fruitfully as a member of this forum.

May God Bless you all.
In Christ, Mary, & Joseph.
