Greetings everyone,
my name is Giulio and I'm from Rome, Italy. I was raised by atheist parents and never received Baptism, but these past few years my girlfriend got me closer and closer to the Faith until I asked to receive the Sacraments of Catholic Initiation. I was baptized this past Easter in St. Peter's Basilica by the pope (ironic if you consider where I'm posting this, haha). I had been getting close to the Traditionalist movement even before my Baptism because of Bp. Williamson's videos, especially his conference on Pascendi, but I started regularly attending the Latin Mass only in the past few months at a local SSPX chapel. I have also learned to serve Mass there, something I consider a great honor.
I usually spend my time praying, studying - I'm getting my degree in Chemistry very soon -, reading, and listening to sermons and conferences. In particular, I've been listening to a lot of conferences by Bp. Donald Sanborn; I know he's not in good standing with SSPX-affiliated individuals, but his lessons on Theology and Morality (which were intended for seminarians) have helped me and guided me a thousand times more than the wishy-washy catechism offered by the New Church.
I hope to engage in meaningful discussion on this site and to meet like-minded individuals, which is always a rare blessing.
God be with you all!
Giulio
