Hello,
My name is Fiach, I'm from Ireland, am Half-Irish and Half-Han Chinese and currently 16 years old. I was raised by my mother and my mother's family who come from a very left-wing secularist background (my grandparents were members of the communist party of Ireland and involved in the anti-apartheid movement)
So my mother wasn't baptised and I wasn't either, I went to a catholic irish speaking primary school in the capital and then moved to the countryside and went to an English speaking catholic school and was the only non-catholic in my class in both schools. Ironically after going into a secular secondary school I wanted to get baptised. I contacted the local novus ordo parish priest around early 2020 just when covid came, he was enthusiastic about me getting baptised at first but then never contacted me again. After this happened I resented him and the church for a while before contacting the SSPX at the start of the summer, I spoke to the priest in person and since then he has called me every week to help study the catechism and help guide me through the steps to baptism.
I am moving again for the next school year to an isolated Irish Island off the west coast were everyone speaks Irish to become fluent in the language and will sadly not be able to attend Latin mass. So I have decided to use this to my advantage and study the faith, that's why I created this account.
Obviously since I am not baptised yet I am in a state of sin, I am currently struggling with slothfulness which leads to things like temptation and unhealthy habits. I enjoy muay thai kickboxing which I started around the start of the year, sadly like Latin mass I won't be able to do it for the year. I enjoy politics but try not to box myself in with any "isms" or be overly political, personally my social views would be simply Christian and my economic view would be corporatism (Implemented in Fascist Italy, Falangist Spain and to an extent modern day China)
I won't post much since I have practically no knowledge outside the catechism.
God Bless!
