I've been registered here since 2007 but, I never properly introduced myself.

My name is Dylan and I'm a young man who lives in Western Massachusetts. I'm a baptised traditional Catholic but, was originally Novus Ordo. I first learned about traditional Catholicism back in 2007 when I began trying to learn more about my religion and have come to accept the Sedevacantist position since then.

I've unfortunately never been able to attend a Traditional Latin (Tridentine) Mass or even receive the valid sacraments because  there are no Traditional Churches or Eastern Rite Churches in my area - all Novus Ordo - but, I still try to look for some. Hopefully I will be able to find a valid Traditional Church within a reasonable distance so I can do so.

Catholic apologetics is one of my favorite interests. I'm also interested in Creationism/Intelligent Design, Biblical history, church history, and any other type of history in general.

I'm still learning more and more about the Catholic Faith and I hope to learn a lot more here than I already have.

I identify myself as a Traditional Roman Catholic since I was
Baptized at St. James Roman Catholic Church, Redondo Beach,Ca in 1953 by Rev. Msgr. Daniel Collins. I came from a protestant family that have not set foot in a Catholic Church since the reformation.  My Mother decided to become a Catholic through the Radio, and the Television preachings of Bishop Fulton Sheen., and the examples of her Catholic friends.  My Brother, and my Sister were baptized at the same time.
In 1955 we moved to new Parish just built. St Lawrence Martyr in Redondo Beach, Ca.  While the church was under construction, Mass was celebrated in a Knights of Columbus
Hall in Hollywood Riviera.
At St Lawrence, where I had my first confession, first
communion, and confirmation. I was also an altar boy, that
had no trouble with the Latin, and the Ceremonies.
I was the class of 1963, a class of baby boomers born in
the aftermath of world war 2. A average of 60 pupils per
class room. In the 6th grade, the boys, and girls attended
separate classes. All were teaching Nuns, and the tuition was
$5.00 a month.
On Sunday, there would be at lease five masses, and the
church was full of 200 people, with cry rooms with those
that have babies. The lines for Confession were always very long.  In 1965, A new church was built that holds 400 people. But, at that time, the changes in the liturgy were being introduced, and Mass attendance begin to decline.
I always remained a Traditional Roman Catholic, and will
never surrender to the changes.
