Greetings everyone. I've been lurking for a while and probably won't post much. Some of you might know me, as I was dustinsdad on another board or two. I'll be twentymilz here. (I think I registered here a long time ago with the old name, but don't remember the password and have since changed e-mail addresses. If i did its been over a year, and I'm not sure if i even posted here before.)

Anyway, I haven't been on the other one for a while. Tran-gate pretty much ruined it for me. I can't deal with the self-loathing trad angle which had come to dominate it, as well as an infatuation with any story dealing with the homo topic. Add the influx of neo-cat conservatives, felt a little too close to CAF.

For the record. I usually assist and am a member at an ICKSP parish (it's where I "discovered" tradition) but occaisionally go to an SSPX chapel. My thinking is probably more SSPX and I'll likely wind up there eventually. Maybe sooner rather than later.

Like alot of folks, the canonizations have troubled me greatly. I fully expected the Good Lord to not allow it. But here we are.

My position as fsr as the sede arguments...anything is possible. I would not at all be surprised if after this chastisement a future pope declares the post concilliar popes to be anti-popes. I don't trust myself to make that call. All I can do is try to hold to the Faith and reject the modern errors. These are dark days.

That's all for now.

Peace.

Hello, my name is William. I have been "lurking" around this forum for a while, and have grown fond of it- since this seems to be where most of the interesting discussions are occurring. Information will come with time, although it can be rest assured that I am a Roman Catholic and I take my faith very seriously. All I ever think about is God and His Church.

Amen.

Sincerely,

William

Hi My Name is Martin Killeen,

I am retired from the NYPD.
I live in Costa Rica.
I was baptized in the original pre- VaticanII RCC..well I might need to be corrected on that...I was baptized while the mass was still in Latin and almost none or none of the distortions of Vat II had visibly taken place yet...1961...our churches in the Bronx NY at the time were staunch Irish Catholic and my 2 overlapping parishes in particular(I lived on a borderline)
were considered "hold out churchs"...concerning the Latin Mass, dogma Liturgy, priests, Etc.

I cant remember what year we switched from the Latin Mass but training as an Altar Boy in 70, 71..we were still taught the Latin Mass, but when I was able to serve 72 73,it was the vernacular N.O.

So perhaps technically not a VatI ...I was fortunate to experience Vat I.....until of course the hammer came down.

I remember the 1st Novus Ordu and even with errors, at first ,it still seemed like a real mass. I was an altar boy....so after being a hold out church we stuck to what seemed to be a fairly strict vernacular mass.

But by around 1974 ,we had some radical nuns in house, and they really got involved , and church wasn't church anymore. UGH...instead of organ music..hippies with BANJOS guitars and tamborines...it was like "The Partridge Family" was running the mass.

Anyway I have been on a private journey for about a year..reading and studying a lot.

amazon.com has been really helpful, I've bought a small library of study books from them.

I started one night by doing a search on "The Virgin of Fatima" (my mothers favorite and she always talked on the secrets and how it was so real and important and the rosary.) From there it's been step by step study realization study realization....shortly after the journey started I had to go back to the states and I attended mass in English........I was blown away the mass...all the words of all the prayers the whole thing...it was...hard to describe
but horrifyingly..scary...bad.

I had previously attending N.O. masses in Spanish, and was using old old English Latin prayer books..so I had no idea how bad things had become.

Well I could go on for hours....but I'll cut to the chase.

I really want to connect with some Traditional Catholics,at this point I'm desparate to find anyone, here in Costa Rica.
I know they exist because I read a story about them and how they tried to operate within the structure of the RCC...several priests were trained in the TLM but at the 11th hour,stabbed in the back the, "bishop" here Quiros had assigned his #2 to "assist" all along but really he was just an informer so that when everything was go...the hammer came down....NO TLM allowed.

Anyway if there is any one out there who could give me any tip or lead to get me in touch with some Traditionalists...I would be grateful.

Amen...... Thank you all.......Martin Killeen.

Hello,

My name is Milton Monteiro. I'm 29, from the south of Brazil, Santa Maria-RS. It's close to the border with Argentina and Uruguay. There is a small priory of sspx here.

I've been reading this forum for some time, but only now decided to participate. This is because of my decision to start contacts with resistance priests and parishioners.

Thank you.

Olá Milton, bem-vindo. Agora nos temos uma/um fórum para a resistência lusofonia, so you came at pretty much the perfect time. Hope you like it here.

Hi everyone,
Traditionally minded Catholic here interested in liturgy, the sacraments, science and moral life here. I am a recent convert from Protestantism and after five years research into Catholicism I finally plucked up the courage to visit the local parish.
I quickly discovered that the Catholics had a very poor understanding of the churches teaching.

I feel that forums such as this fulfill a vital role in introducing Catholics, protestants and all people to the eternal truths of the faith which do not change even though they may be somewhat obscured in dark times of crisis such as we are currently going through.

I'm a college student majoring in economics. My parents were were wish-washy NO Catholics. Thanks to the magic of the internet, I discovered the old traditions of the Catholic faith, and I was fully convinced that the NO could not be the real Catholic Church, but rather merely a counterfeit Church.

Anyway, its a pleasure to be here. :)

Hello, my name is Jeremy and I have been Catholic since 2008 - converting from the Protestant faith. I am a 3rd degree Knight in the Knights of Columbus and really enjoy learning more about the Catholic Church. Hope to meet some new people and have wonderful discussions about the Church and what it teaches.
