    Congratulations!  And thank God for not falling into the feeneyite trap.  I almost did.  What is the meaning in the name (sneedevacantist)?  I missed though I noticed Mith got it. 
    Thanks! My account name is a combination of Sneed and Sedevacantist. I was struggling to come up with a name for my account on Reddit that wasn't already taken, so I settled on that.

    Welcome to the forum and the Faith!

    Are you familiar with any of the hardline traditional Catholics in NC?  We have recently become aquatinted with at least three families though we live in Virginia.  They occasionally go to Mass at Saint Augustine Chapel in Carrollton, VA with Father Ahern.  Some of them are coming up for our Saint Raphael Meet-Up.  :popcorn:

    Thanks be to God that the SSPX priest in your area is ordained properly!  I think that there is only one main SSPX chapel in NC that I am aware of.  So, I may have been there once while on vacation with my family.  :cowboy:
    Thanks!

    I'm not familiar with any hardline traditional Catholics in my state, except for one (if you mean hardline Sede) that attends at the CMRI mission in Virginia that I go to whenever they have Mass. I've never gone to the Sede chapel in Carrollton because it's really far from where I live (even farther than the mission I attend down in South Carolina).

    I'm also glad that there's a valid SSPX priest kinda in my area. There's actually three SSPX Mass sites in North Carolina. I attend the one in the Charlotte area, which I think might be the biggest and most established of the three. It's not exactly close, but it's close enough that I don't mind driving down to it weekly for Mass. Fr Bourbeau is the priest there currently, and he seems to be a very holy priest from what I've seen so far (speaking of Fr Bourbeau, please pray for his recovery from illness, if he's still sick; he became really sick this past Sunday morning and was unable to offer Mass). The first Mass that I attended there was on the feast of Christ the King a few weeks ago. It was really cool getting to participate in the Eucharistic Procession after Mass.

    It sounds like Father Bureau is amazing!  Prayers for his recovery.  :pray:

    North Carolina is rather big and it sounds as if you are probably on the other side of the state from the people whom we know who live down there.  Hopefully you will at least get to know some traditional Catholics at the SSPX chapel you are going to.  Having a traditional Catholic support group can help a lot.  :incense:

    Looks like EENS sedevacantist to me
    He is, but not feeneyite:

    Later on, I discovered Novus Ordo Watch and found out that Most Holy Family Monastery was not without flaws in their teachings. Their Feeneyism always rubbed me the wrong way, so I was relieved to learn that their position did not reflect the true Catholic position in that regard.

    • Greetings and salutations,
    I found this forum yesterday while browsing Traditionalist Catholic subjects.  I was baptized and confirmed in the N.O. church but have decided to, as Matthew likes to put it, jump ship as its burning and swim for the life raft.  I live deep in Appalachia so finding a mass to attend will be an arduous journey.  I have located a CMRI congregation and a couple of SSPX parishes but they are all in the vicinity of a four hour round trip.  I have come hoping to learn, grow in my faith, and perhaps share some comradery.  May God bless you all.

    • Welcome!  You’re fortunate to have a CMRI chapel near you, and it would be my choice. The SSPX(like the Novus Ordo) is only concerned with making money.

    Welcome! It seems that we have similar options for Mass. If you don't mind me asking, is the CMRI Mass site that you have located in Virginia? Because that's one of the ones that I go to whenever they do have Mass. It's a small mission at the moment that has Mass in a hotel conference room generally once a month, but if you want details about it I can PM you.

    Maybe that statement is true of the SSPX as a whole or as far as the leadership is concerned, but not of many of it's priests and members.

    Hello to everyone!

    I am Josip (eng. Joseph) Rakušić from Croatia, 30 years old, married for 7 years with no children (I have problems with infertility). I live in a small town where I work in a family business.
    Just a few kilometres from here is a border with Bosnia and Herzegovina. I used to go with my parents to Medjugorje.
    For 15 years I have been researching "consipiracy theories", but just 4-5 years ago I became aware of the whole crysis in the Church, modernism, Vatian 2, etc. I can only attend Novus Ordo mass, because nearest Latin Mass offered by SSPX priest is more than 100 km away. I stopped going to Novus Ordo mass for a few weeks, but I'm scared if I'm committing mortal sin against 3rd God's commandment. I only watched live TLM masses on Youtube for now.
    I need a helpful advice, you could send me a private message. 
    Thank you for this forum, I enjoy reading some discussions. God bless you all!

    Hi,

    I am 22-year-old female living with my husband who is homesteading. I moved from the city (where I lived all my life) to be with him. We have free-range chickens currently. I'm planning on doing RCIA this Fall to become Catholic. I was not raised Christian so it's been a journey for the past 3 years.

    I live in Canada where it's not so free so that's why my husband and I left the city. We can grow our own food and not as dependent on the government. We plan on homeschooling and having a big family.

    I was part of a non-denominational church group at my university in 2019 but it caused me to doubt Christianity because of how shallow and fake the meet-ups were. I wanted to seek the truth and find meaning in my life since I was basically an atheist all my life. My brother (who's currently doing RCIA) told me about contraception not being allowed by the Catholic church last year, and it made me interested in the faith since.

    My husband and I currently attend the Norvus Ordo mass (45 min drive) which is somewhat relevant compared to the other ones I heard about, and I hope it stays that way. I would like to attend a TLM but unfortunately, they're in the city which is 3-4 hours away. I have been interested in traditionalism for the past few years.

    Here's a picture of our rooster, my friend...
    How's your RCIA coming?

    It’s going okay, thanks. I also appreciate the resources you sent me.
    Also, attended my first TLM in Toronto (when we flew there to visit my parents) in October, which I’m so grateful for.

    • I've been passively reading from this site for some time now, and it has been helping in my 'reversion' to the Faith. I've always been a Catholic, but I've only recently started actually taking my religion seriously. I have a question that I have been thinking about for a while, but since I am not that well spoken about theology I don't want to just rely on my own view.

    What kind of Church should I go to? I have not been to a Church since my parents became sedevacantist when I was 13, and I would like to receive the sacraments (mainly penance). I don't have any sedevacantist priests in my area, just an SSPX chapel and a Eastern Orthodox chapel. The SSPX chapel is about an hour away from me, so it would be much more convenient for me to go to the Eastern Orthodox.

    Could you guys give me your two sense on which Church I should go to and why. It seems to me that they are both in schism, but the Eastern Orthodox church is the only one that was officially declared schismatic. Do the Eastern Orthodox still have valid sacraments? Would it be a sin to go to a schismatic Church if it is the only option?

    Hi Josip- this is my advice. Take it for what it's worth. Go to the SSPX Mass as often as is possible. 100 km is a lot but not impossible at least once a month. Make an appointment with the SSPX priest for general advice on your situation. Read your missal for Sunday Masses that you are not able to attend, Make Spiritual communions and keep the Lord's day Holy as best you can. IMHO, the Novus Ordo does not fulfill the Sunday obligation as it is a destroyer of the faith. God bless you-pray your Rosary every day and our Lady will make this work for you!

    Welcome, Jimmy. Good to hear of your reversion. Keep far away from the Orthodox whether or not their sacraments are valid. Go the extra mile to the SSPX. I pray that your faith will increase.
