God Bless.

Hello. I can't really say much about myself - a general 'rad-trad' and Bp. Williamson-ite. I'm proud to say the English SSPX are considered 'a Williamson enclave'*! I found out about CathInfo on the forum (why won't the website let me say Suscipe Domine - I've only favourable things to say about you!) and thought that it seemed to follow my line of thinking on most things (negotiations with Rome, Jews, Freemasons, the Council and so on).

* A (presumably intended as insulting!) epithet given to us by a poster on the blog of the 'conservative' (read Ratzingerian and so raving Modernist) priest Fr. Blake:

Quote

'What is not appreciated that the UK Province of SSPX is, de facto, a +Williamson enclave and not reflective of the total SSPX operation... Many feel that +Fellay has been dilatory in not sorting-out the UK situation, where a priest with a Sedevacantist background, though reportedly not such, is District Superior and certainly a +Williamson acolyte.''

Welcome, PatrickG! Good to have another fellow +Williamson fan here!

God Bless.

Hello Patrick! Nice to see you over here.

I am new to this forum, too. I am a semi-retired Benedictine Sister. My community doesn't exist anymore. About 2 years ago, there were only five of us left and my superior and two other elderly sisters were in extremely bad health and were very handicapped. Another sister and I were trying to take care of them but it was getting increasingly impossible to do that. The bishop intervened and now the three elderly sisters are being taken care of properly by a skilled nursing facility run by the Felician sisters. No provisions were made for me and the other sister. We went our own separate ways because of disagreements on how to go on. I am temporarily staying with a friend in South Carolina, but I am poised to move to Baltimore, MD in a few weeks. I am looking forward to a move into my own place where I can live out my Benedictine religious life in peace. I pray the Monastic Diurnal (Lauds, Terce, Sext, None, Vespers and Compline) everyday. I miss being able to chant the Hours in our little Chapel, but this will have to do for now.

I have been a teacher and principal for over 25 years. My area of teaching is math and science in grades 6-10, although I've taught all other subjects as well. When I am able, I prefer to attend the EF of the Mass. The closest EF of the Mass here in SC is over 100 miles away. I am a classically trained teacher and have implemented this teaching method in my classes and schools in which I was principal.

I love animals and have always had a pet. Right now, I have a pitch-black cat who I rescued from a shelter a year ago. His name is Raven (after the raven which saved St. Benedict's life in the cave), and he is a most unusual cat. I've had many cats before him, but none of them have been as energetic as he is. If I didn't know better, I'd say he suffers from hyperactivity. All he wants to do all day is play. He is a cat's cat, actually. Her prefers the company of other cats to humans. But, he is very affectionate, sweet-tempered, and gentle. He is so black that many times all you can see if the outline of his body with 2 glowing greenish-golden eyes.

Well, anyway, that is about it. Just wanted to say hello and to introduce myself. Blessed Easter to all! :cool:

Welcome, Sister!

Question: Why doesn't the Diurnal include Prime? And why does it include Compline? :confused1:

Welcome to CatholicInfo, Sister Terese Peter!

God Bless.

Dear Sister,

You're very welcome here. I was very moved by your plight. There are many religious women adversely affected by the state of the Church.

I am delighted to hear about your Raven. I love cats too. We had a great "cat" thread going a little while back which I am sure you'd love. I wonder if you read it.

I would be grateful if you can say include my family in your prayer .

Christ Is Risen!
Hello everyone, I am a cradle Byzantine Ruthenian Catholic. I love all authentic and apostolic traditions of the Catholic Church and am here to discuss with and share my faith with like-minded brothers and sisters. I have a real love for authentic liturgical traditions of all Rites practiced in the Catholic Church and hoping here I can discuss your traditions with you. I am not unfamiliar with Traditional Latin spirituality as I grew up attending Byzantine and Latin liturgies,was in my teens when the Mass changed. I live in a spiritual desert geographically speaking, no type of Eastern or traditional liturgies being celebrated in my area. The nearest things are 1-2 hrs away so it is infrequently I can participate in good liturgy. So finding those who love tradition, Eastern/Western is a good thing for me.

Also if Byzantine Catholics are not welcome or if this not the forum for me please advise I will leave with no ill will. By chance any other Byzantine Catholics or any other Eastern Catholics here?

Hello. My name is Soma, short for Somayina. I'm 38 years of age, and attend Mater Dei parish in DFW metroplex. I was raised in the new mass and only started attending mass of '62 at the age of 24, in SSPX chapel.

Many interesting articles on here. I'm an African American male. This last sentence sounds so strange, but i figure it gives a description, which seems necessary given my name.
