Hi, I'm new to the forum, having registered just a few minutes ago.

As my screen name / avatar and signature might suggest, I don't quite know where to put myself ... yet I seem to be attracted to Traditional Catholic discussion forums. I'm a male convert to the Catholic faith for almost 25 years, married with three children, and a Trad at heart if not in practice. Like the novelist Walker Percy, I would simply describe myself as a bad Catholic.

Wellcome!
And indeed an important role at such a young age!

Hi. I just wanted to let every know I just signed up. I have been visiting the last 2 days and have been impressed how the moderator lets reasonable discussions go on instead of locking the topic or banning people.

I attend the Diocesan Latin Mass but have also attended SSPX and I am very sympathetic towards them. I am starting to think as a sede but feel good people are found on all sides.

I am 49, married 29 years with 3 grown children.

To Jesus through Mary-
Bill

Hello all, my name is Michael. I am a happily married Catholic in Cincinnati, OH who is living in a world without a Pope.

My journey has led me from the Novus Ordo to the FSSP to the SSPX to parishes of the "9" who left the SSPX to the CMRI (who are sedevacantists, where I am now happy).

I unfortunately have seen alot of mind control and exploitation present in the different societies outside the Novus Ordo. The CMRI would be the only exception to this rule (as far as I can tell now). This is probably because they have actually renounced their previous status as a cult and have cleaned house.

I am not here to bash particular groups (I have gotten over that phase), but to expose some terrible scandals that have several of my friends in shackles to some very self-serving individuals who really don't care if others are being led into the most deadly sins one can think of. I would hope my training in Classical and Modern psychology have given me insight into the psychological warfare one often sees in the traditional movement.

I and my wife pray for the restoration of the Holy See. My purpose here is to help "set the captives free" and warn others who are deliberating whether to get involved with certain priests (ie move across the country or even the world to settle their family where they think they can have a wholesome Catholic life). I hope I can be of service to the group in other ways as I have seen and learned alot in my young life (I was a seminarian with the FSSP and have been trained in Thomistic philosopy and theology). Anyone interested in Catholic apologetics can certainly be my buddy. I ask for your prayers as I have to do some difficult things this week.

I've already had some posts, but I guess I'll introduce myself here anyways.

I'm CatholicThurifer. I'm a 22 year old young man. I'm a Catholic tradiitonalist. I occasionally still serve, in case anyone was wondering.

I mostly agree with the viewpoints of the SSPX concerning the crisis of the Church, and would love to be able to go to one of their priories on a regular basis. Right now I normally assist at a diocesan TLM, and totally avoid the Novus Ordo Masses. But, like I said, I would love to be able to go to the SSPX because I know they promote the true Faith in its entirety.

Anyways, I hope to be able to grow in my Faith while here, and make some new friends along the way. :-)
