Hallo.

I am a Syriac-Turkish Traditional Catholic residing in South America. I work in academia.

I signed up on this forum because I am interested in discussing philosophy, liturgy, theology, science; western art, music, mythology, symbolism, folklore, race, politics; the “JQ,” Islam & the West, the Holy Crusades & Inquisition, and history with likeminded individuals.

I am empathetic to Sedevacantism/Sedeprivationism, but I am moderately “R&R.”

Theoretically & politically, I lean toward a modified “Traditional” (Evolian) National Socialism, but I am also a realist so I support “conservative” movements. Samuel Francis, E. Michael Jones, Julius Evola, and Oswald Spengler are my primary influences here.

Philosophically, I am a Neoplatonic Thomist although I thoroughly enjoy reading the philosophically heterodox German Idealists such as Hegel, Kant, Fichte, & Heidegger as well as the existentialists such as Nietzsche & Kierkegaard.

I wish to remain anonymous so I won’t answer personal questions, but I look forward to discussing matters with you all.

Gott segne dich.

Hi Dionysus!

I think you will find quite a few people that will enjoy and be quite proficient in discussing those topics here. I will be more of the lurker-type for most of those things ;)

Hello Filipino!

I hope you enjoy your time here.

Welcome to you, both, I am also new.
Anne

P.S. Thanks for the earlier welcome also, Meg, and the help Emile. :-)

I never did one of these, so here goes:

I converted about four years ago from a wicked life of Protestantism after many years of reading history. I never desired the Catholic faith, and I thought it was evil and impossible for it to be true. I wanted to learn what the true faith is, because none of the Protestantism I had come in contact with could be it. The Protestants I were with wanted to play rock music and have a good time, but I wanted something more.

Year after year I made concessions, but I stopped attending any nominally "Christian", Protestant, whatever kind of service. I remember most vividly accepting that Purgatory must be true during one restless night. The most difficult truths for me to accept were those of Our Lady. It was possible for me to accept her as Mother of God, or Theotokos, but it took me many, many years to accept her as Queen of Heaven and Our Lady. If I hadn't been so blinded by pride and Protestantism to reject her, it would have saved me a lot of trouble to convert sooner than I did. Perhaps it was necessary, but God knows.

I assist at a Mass in the DC-Baltimore area and have a background in the armed forces. I've learned a great deal from CathInfo as a lurker, and I hope I can learn a lot more even while posting.
