  • Maxine, 42, London UK

    Returning to Catholicism after many years of drifting in a secular world.

    Only find meaning now in the Traditional Latin Mass. Can see why I left the church 20 years ago and even signed up to Dawkins style atheism.  Church was stale, boring and uninspiring.

    I have a science degree and have worked as a teacher and librarian. Am now looking for a change of career - am hoping to work in efucation of children with special needs.

    I'm here to find some answers and debate.

    Hoping to be Confirmed in the Traditional Rite in November.

  • That would be 'education' of course.

    Apologies for the typo - I only have smartphone internet access at the moment.

  • Michael Wilson,
     I was a member of Ignis Ardens forum (before its untimely and lamented demise), and am currently a member of Angelqueen, Archbishop Lefebvre, Bellarmine, and  Suscipe Domine forums. I was born and raised a Catholic, and my family became traditionalist in the late sixties, when the new all English canon was introduced, thanks to the writtings of Mr. Patrick Henry Omlor. I'm a 58 years old batchelor (the lucky woman that didn't get stuck with me, ha!); I live with my Mom and a spinster sister. I work as a teacher's aid in a public school with children who have learning disabilities and as a clerk in a liquor store.  
    I hold to the  sede-vacante opinion as a logical explanation of the "how?" Question of the current situation in the Church; as in: "How is it possible that the Pope and the magisterium could teach erroneous even heretical doctrines, promulgate harmful, even invalid sacraments, as well as discipline."
    Politically, I favor the Monarchial form of govenment; but I prefer above all else, a government that is based on and guided by Catholic principles. But I'm not interested in politics and am not active in any "cause".
    In books, I like the writtings of Rev. Dennis Fahey CSSP (obviously); Rev. Garigou Lagrange (although I'm a Molinist on the question of grace and predestination); and the writings of the pre-Vatican II popes.
    I also like to read fantasy for entertainment (Lord of the Rings, Yes!); like to drink a good Bourbon, Scotch, and have a nice red wine when I can afford it (Cabernet, Zinfandel, Malbec, Merlot, are my favorite varieties). I also like to drink cheap beer;Coors Extra Gold is my daily beer; and good beer: Chimay Abbey Ale (once a year).
    I like to hang around traditional Catholic forums, because I have learned a great deal by reading the posts and having discussions with other members.
    Favorite sports teams: Football: Miami Dolphins; Basketball: the Heat; Hockey: Boston Bruins; Baseball: San Francisco Giants; Soccer: Real Madrid. Rugby: "Les Blues".
    As most of you can conclude by now, temperamentally I'm a Sanguine-Melancholy.

    This has been a very difficult, painful struggle for me, especially the past year.  Your "how" has been my framework to discern.

    Welcome, and happy, holy feast of the Resurrection of Our Lord.

    The way you have expressed it, I would have thought that your family were always traditionalist. Am I right?
    I have yet to read anything by the late Patrick Ormlor, (May he rest in peace).

     Nadir,
      yes that is correct, we have basically been trads all of our lives, as we had the blessing of never having participated in the N.O.M.
    Mr. Omlor's writings are very good, and he was one of the original English speaking trad authors.

  • Welcome aboard, Michael Wilson!  I always looked forward to reading your posts on IA (of felicitous memory).  Now, I'll have the pleasure of reading you once more.  How I wish a few more of the IA crowd would migrate over here ...

  • Ambrose,
     thank you very much.
    Domitilla,
     I'm glad you are here also.  We have a few refugees from I.A. Over at Suscipe Domine forum, including Clare, Maximillian and Feeneyite (now "Yankee Girl").
    I hope I have time to post here, as there are many interesting threads.

    So you just hopped on board?  I have to admit that I miss IA as well.  It had many interesting  :jumping2:personalities--and humor.  Happy to see you, and will be looking forward to reading your posts.  Like Domitilla, I, too, hope to see others from IA migrate over here some day, and wish Patricius the very best. Every Trad forum that disappears is a loss.
