Link to last intro

I am a convert to Catholicism for almost 2 years and hope soon to be confirmed, and also to enter College with the credit I hope to get from activities abroad, if all goes well, which is due next year. I have not yet decided what to do for a career, but I'm leaning towards Real Estate and or Property management.
I was born and raised in the Baptist Church, believing that the Church was evil and oppressive, as all misguided Protestants do, and then went to various other Protestant denominations for a few years before encountering Catholicism in 2004.
I study the Catholic Church, particularly its history, not only as a hobbie, but also for education purposes, and also Catholic social teaching, such as economics, including Distributism. I like to read, study, pray, and write.

Thanks, Joan. Now all I have to figure out is what to make of it. I have also read that the Phillipines are heavily Catholic and have areas where white people don't live long if they are so foolish to venture there. Best I can figure at this point is that they are more religious than most people in this unbelieving world.

Wow, it's wonderful to meet such nice traditional Catholics! Yeah, there are some arguments caused by confusion, like the one regarding celibacy.

(We are called to remain pure. That's the ideal. However, for those who can't accomplish this, God has established the sacrament of Holy Matrimony. So marriage is holy, and is not a sin, as is adultery. It just isn't as saintly as celibacy.)

Despite these occasional disputes, I am overjoyed to meet fellow traditional Catholics striving to live their lives in a way that pleases God.

Since this is an introduction thread, let me get to the point...
I'm a 23-year-old teacher from NJ. There are no Tridentine Masses in the town where my family lives, and this is very detrimental to us as Catholics. Posting here enables me to be a bit more connected with the traditional Catholic world, from which I am otherwise almost completely isolated.

Having said that, greetings to you all, and for the future, happy posting! :wink:

I think my introduction is pretty much long overdue. lol

Many usually call me Teo simply or on message boards like here and FE I think some could call me Keph as well. I am a college student in San Antonio, Texas. I have the goal of someday becoming a doctor, a general pracitioner at this point, but I still have to work on the bachelor's degree some more. I attend Masses of the SSPX and pretty much hold their traditionalist position.
