  • I am a Roman Catholic living near Sacramento,California. I have copied from some assignments from school with similar personal introductory character to introduce myself.

    Beliefs. I profess Jesus Christ to be the One Lord and Saviour, the only-begotten Son of God the Father Almighty, who less than 5200 years before His Incarnation within six days created all things exactly as is written in the Scriptures. I believe that truth is objective, that faith can be determined by reason alone, that the Latin Vulgate is literally the Word of God, and that outside of the one true Church of Christ (for which water baptism is required) there is absolutely no salvation.

    Theological Positions. With the false II Vatican Council contradicting past infallible declarations, most of the Vatican hierarchy has fallen into at least material heresy. The validity of the sacraments of Eucharist, Ordination, and Extreme Unction in the Novus Ordo are doubtful. I do not believe that the pope issue is essential for salvation nor identify as Sedevacantist, but reject Francis as a heretical antipope (or antipope-to-be until formal deposition) due to his formal heresy on salvation dogma where he admitted from his own words that he was about to perhaps utter heresy ("Voy a decir...quizás una herejía") before denying dogmas from the Council of Florence when speaking of Copts slaughtered by Islamists.

    Opinions. I think that art must follow traditional canons, that Church and State must govern in harmony, and that the Creation of God must not be substantially changed in any manner (including GMOs, chemtrails, etc.). European Christian civilization, from which come the most beautiful expressions of humanity, is under attack from the ѕуηαgσgυє (from which emanates Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ and Communism) and their collaborators, the rationalists, Saracens, pagans, modernists, and heretics of all sects. Atheistic Zionism (i.e.Jєωιѕн supremacism) is the greatest threat to not only Western culture but also to the freedom and well-being of every nation of the world. I am convinced that the earth is an oblate sphere static in the middle of the Universe, and outside of it there is no intelligent life (besides that from heaven and hell).

    General personal information. I was born in 8 February 2000 in Sacramento, California and have lived in Illinois before moving back. I am of mostly Iberian descent. I am neither completely careless in health nor a fan of sports, like cooking, love history, enjoy classical art and music, dislike mathematics, and fluently speak English and Spanish as opposed to my progressively more limited knowledge of French, German, and Latin.

    Personality. I care not for anyone’s personal life and find small talk completely unnecessary; I strongly believe in the right of personal privacy, the importance of strict honesty at all levels, and am not an outgoing person (classified “green-personality INTJ”).

    Other trivial matters. Favorites: color is ultramarine blue, song is the solemn tone of the Ambrosian Hymn Te Deum Laudamus followed by that of the Asperges Me, architectural style is neo-gothic, art style is International Gothic or its later Pre-Raphaelite imitation, font is Cardo, book is the Gospel of St. Matthew (besides the Vulgate and Denzinger it has been actually a short book of stories and quotes from Padre Pio produced by Most Holy Family Monastery), Köppen climate is Dfc, sculpture is Michaelangelo's Pietá, and painting is the Raphael's Sixtine Madonna.

  • My name is Jacob Pius, Jacob ”is my baptized name,“Pius”is my confirmation name that is ready to use it in future. The Christian name, is follow Helping Spanish expel Muslims from St. James the Great, and defend to the traditional Catholic beliefs St. Pius X Pope against Modernism. 
    I come from Northern China, where was the ancient Yan Kingdom's Dugang place. It is located in Baoding City in the south of Beijing and west of Tianjin. I am 26 years old (born on July 22, 1992), and was born in a pagan family in the countryside. My ancestors may be nomadic tribes from the Eurasian steppe. parents believe in polytheism or Buddhism, My grandfather had joined the Communist Party, But my uncle-grandfather (my maternal grandmother's brother) was an armed militia called "White neck" who resisted the invasion of the Communist Party in his hometown in the 1940s, Later, after the battle for protecting his hometown away from communist was defeated, he had been killed by Communist. Currently, there are 4 people in my family: my parents, my brother and me. My current job is painting and design. Although I am from the North China, But I am not a Chinese. I think my nation(ethnic group) should be a Yuyencian. I support and join the Yuyencia independence movement (see Twitter @Yuyencian about this political event).
    The Yuyencia Church is the largest part of China Catholic, not only in its longest history, but also in the largest number of people, the most Priest, and the most determined areas against the Chinese Communist Party’s religious policy. (about Yuyencia Loyalty Church See: https://yuyencia.wordpress.com/2018/04/09/%E5%B9%BD%E7%87%95%E6%95%99%E4%BC%9A%E7%9A%84% E4%BA%94%E6%AC%A1%E8%80%83%E9%AA%8Chave-english-version/ )In this still highly centralized communist country, It is a real faith fortress, Is the key to spreading the Catholic faith throughout East Asia, never be defeated by the enemy.  But you are also clear, our universal church is now facing an unprecedented crisis, Vatican II Modernism Firmly Controls the Holy See, those Vatican officials became apostates, now it is going to betray the Loyalty church in my hometown, Signed an agreement with the Chinese Communist Party, And let the two countries that can’t coexist with each other establish diplomatic relations. This is a historic end to the Loyalty church in my hometown, but I also think this is a turning point in the recovery. Because many years ago, The priests of the faithful church were smitten by the Vatican of modernism. many people, including Bishop Fan Xueyan, nothing is known about the dangers of Vatican II, Because at the time of Vatican II, they are all in isolated prisons, In the iron curtain of the Communist Party, Information flow is inconvenient. But because of it, When they revived the church in the 80's, Persistence and spread are the pre-Vatican II Catholic beliefs, Including the ritual of consecrate bishops and priests. Until the late 1990s, Modernism began to spread in churches in my hometown, mainly in the liturgical reform, completely changed to Mandarin. But because of the conservation of the church in his hometown, for a long time we do not allow many outrageous exaggeration of innovative experiments. Until recent years, Modernism was formally impact, Mostly because most of the old bishops and priests who had received formal education pre-Vatican II had passed away.Because of the limitations of the environment under Communist rule, Tradition does not spread well to the next generation of clergy. Many of these young priests have accepted a modernist mission organization called the "disciple class(门徒班)", Everywhere to learn the Bible and the revival of the Divine grace spreading heresies, their harm is getting bigger and bigger. And in the Loyalty church of Novus Ordo,  only few people recognizing the dangers of Vatican II and turn to traditional camps, mainly because of the lack of traditional missionaries.
    Beginning in 2014, after I got rid of the trap of the New Age and the Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ Thought, I began to accept the Catholic faith. At that time, I still couldn't notice the problem of Vatican II and the tradition, but the team was on the side of the loyal church. Later, I have a deep understanding of the Vatican II conference and modernism, Especially through the docuмentary of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, also know the opposition such as SSPX, but at the beginning I was supporting all traditionalists, does not oppose the compromise between SSPX and the Modernist Vatican, nor does it oppose FSSP's surrender, I didn’t go to church in the open church(CCPA) to participate in mass after that, just go to the underground church near my home. In 2016, because I was very active on the internet at the time, spread the knowledge of many Catholic traditions, so I met more and more supporters of the traditional, after the introduction of one of them, In the fall of this year, I started to contact the priest of SSPX for the first time, first time to participate in the traditional Latin Mass, So I also started to plan for the SSPX priest to baptize me with traditional ritual, It also reduced contact with the underground church on my home. However, the SSPX priest enters the mainland only once a year for no more than ten times,   so the plan for baptism was delayed until the winter of 2017, Fr. O agreed to baptize me in June this year. After more than a month of preparation,I had a long journey of nearly 50 days. I walked about 2,500km by bicycle. Mainly to some pilgrimage sites in the Yuyencia. Visited more than 60 churches. June 5, 2018, I passed the sacred baptism in the secret room of a hotel, formally became a Catholic.
    In the summer of 2017, I was almost expelled by SSPX, because the head of SSPX in mainland China knows that my position is biased towards the Sedevacantism and supports the Resistance movement of Bishop Williamson. I also oppose the cooperation of SSPX and the Patriotic Association(CPCA), but In order to be able to baptize, I later did not cause conflict with them.
    I learned about the internal division of SSPX before, I support the Bishop Williamson, SSPX really should not have too much contact with the modernist church in the current situation, the agreement between them is like the agreement between the Vatican and the Chinese Communist Party, is full of evil, cannot be confused by the tradition of restoration that Benedict XVI once had, he could be honest, but many liberals Vatican bureaucracy actually wanted to drive a wedge between the Society, the hostile relationship has not changed, do not naive, too close to the Vatican will only bring deeper danger to SSPX, so I fully support the idea that Bishop Williamson ignored the Vatican and missionary independently, but I really don’t want to see the SSPX split more and more, hope SSPX executives will be wise, recognize the status quo and return to the right path.  about Sedevacantist, Because I do not have the knowledge of theology and Canon law, so temporarily I can't understand which is correct, But I think as long as they have no problem with the teaching and ritual of tradition, can ignore them. Even if it's correct, this small group mentality can not solve the problem, In particular, most ordinary members of the church do not understand these complex issues, It's not easy for most people to maintain their traditional beliefs, whether the pope is the real, actually not important, we will do as required by Archbishop Lefebvre, as long as the Vatican does not return to normal, we do not have dealings with them, the two sides remain parallel relationship on the line, So as to guarantee the stability of the internal SSPX, not interfered with by modernists, this missionary independence is very important in the current crisis. 
    Now, I am plan to go to the seminary, so I want find more knowledge in here.

    Now, I am plan to go to the seminary, so I want find more knowledge in here.

    Welcome! You've provided a good summary of what's happening in China these days. We don't usually have much information about that on the forum.

    It's really good that you want to go to seminary. The Resistance does have a seminary in Cebu City, Philippines, headed by Fr. Chazal, and I think that sedevacantists are allowed to attend there. However, as Fr. Chazal said recently said in a sermon, sedevacantists always end up leaving because they can't take it that the seminary (and Resistance) are not sedevacantist.

    Fr. Chazal has written a book about sedevacantism, that you may want to read, since it would seem that you may not be totally convinced of it.
    "It is licit to resist a Sovereign Pontiff who is trying to destroy the Church. I say it is licit to resist him in not following his orders and in preventing the execution of his will. It is not licit to Judge him, to punish him, or to depose him, for these are acts proper to a superior."

  • Hello forum! Please excuse my poor English. I am a Roman Catholic, baptized as a child shortly after the opening of the 1960s Vatican Hippie-Council. According to my findings that council was a highly solemn declaration of heresy and defection of more than 2400 theretofore true or apparent bishops. As far as I can recognize, there is no shepherd with apostolic authority left today demanding my submission.

    I thank the Lord for the internet, providing access to church docuмents and much more, including sites like this one, which help a great deal with forming one's conscience and correcting one's ignorance, misunderstandings, and errors.

    My examination of the crisis and of the true faith began 15 years ago. For a while I heard mass at an SSPX outpost, then briefly at an SSPX Resistance outpost. In the past five years I've enjoyed dwelling "in the desert" or "home alone" as they say.
    Men are not bound, or able to read hearts; but when they see that someone is a heretic by his external works, they judge him to be a heretic pure and simple ... Jerome points this out. (St. Robert Bellarmine)

  • Hello, GrottoAl here. (Real 1st name is Al). 

    I use the same username on FE, I hope that some of those folks leave me be. I am cradle Catholic NO who fell away at 13 yo. I returned at 32. I came to tradition after the Motu Proprio of BXVI in 2007. That's when my NO Parish started doing the TLM daily. I hope honest sincere dialog is wanted here. I may have some tough questions but am trying to learn, not start a brawl. Thanks !

  • Only very recent history on this forum. I was on FE but I am looking for honest sincere dialog. I made the mistake of sharing an honest opinion. One which may or may not ring true here, I am not sure. I only know that I had people coming at me like I was a heretic. I do not have  a Doctorate in philosophy or Theology. I was brought back to the Church by a book I read, called the Way of Divine Love by Sr. Josefa Menendez. Let's say it like this. I have no earthly reasons to be here. That is, guys like me don't make it back to God. Ever.

  • Judging by your first post and username, do you attend Assumption Grotto in Detroit? It's a tremendous parish. It's both NO and TLM, but it's incredibly reverent and incredibly Catholic.

  • Hi, I'm CentroAmerica. I made this account when I was living in Guatemala although I'm an American from the Southeastern US. I lived in Brazil and was present for both the episcopal consecrations of Bishop Faure and Bishop Thomas Aquinas. I knew Bishop Faure before his consecration and Bishop Thomas Aquinas was the priest of my wedding and Mass. 

    Nice to meet you all.
    We conclude logically that religion can give an efficacious and truly realistic answer to the great modern problems only if it is a religion that is profoundly lived, not simply a superficial and cheap religion made up of some vocal prayers and some ceremonies...
