Hi, everybody: I am a traditional catholic by the grace of God. I attend an SSPX mission in Mexico.

What I believe: Up to the last little dogma of the Roman Catholic Church, especially in these times: the EENS dogma. NO sacraments have to be presumed invalid and, by all appearances, there hasn't been a true successor of St. Peter since 1958. I also believe that many conspiracy theories are true, especially those against the Church, but I mortify my curiosity towards them.

Saints I have a special devotion for: the Mother of God (under the advocations of Our Lady of the Rosary and Our Lady of the Assumption), my guardian angel, St. Joseph, St. John the Baptist, St. Mary Magdalene, the Good Thief, St. Benedict, St. Francis of Assisi, St. John of the Cross, St. Pedro de Alcántara... These are the ones that for some reason I invoke more frequently in my prayers and whose lives I strive to imitate and meditate on the most, but I love all the Blessed in Heaven and I hope they all pray for me.

Prayer habits: three Angelus Domini, one third of the Rosary and the Via Crucis every day. The Little Office of the BVM on the weekends when I have more free time.

God bless you and Mary Most Holy protect you!

I started going to the New Order in Canada. Heard whispers of schismatic groups that were Bad. I continued in New Order for a year or so. I was taught to read as a child. And reading the News, the Bible, the New Order Catechism and The New Order Missal, live of the saints and history, I concluded that something was up. Incongruent. Martyr would not offer there lives for the faith offered today. Thus my entry to The Faith

hello there guys

I'm catholic, baptized as a child, my family didn't practice the faith(grew up in a communist country) except for my grandmother(God rest her soul) who was deeply catholic. At around 16yo I got curious about religion, and started attending the novus ordo, took the sacraments(1st communion and confirmation), got heavily involved in the charismatic movement  at 21yo  went to seminary, there my faith got crushed with all the degeneracy (sodomites in all ranks) left seminary and novus ordo all together and became pentecostal(Assemblies of God) rebaptized by immersion in a river, that was all in my home country, tbh have good memories from my time with the holly rollers, pious people, heavy bible study, strict modesty(dress) standards for women and men, fasting, praying, no vices etc.

Fast forward 5 years, I came to the US(legally) it was the beginning of the end , with work and school full time, it started chipping away to my beliefs/spirituality since no much time for piety. I also had to switch churches since Pentecostal trinitarians in the U.S were too worldly in my eyes so went to the black sheep of the Pentecostal world, the Modalists (UPCI) who reject the trinity and baptize in Jesus name only, rebaptize again in Jesus name. Found me a hottie in church and married, big mistake, 3 years into the marriage, found the wife cheating(fornication) that's grounds for divorce/remarriage with many evangelicals, in retrospect the marriage catastrophe was a lot my own fault, like postponing having kids for the indefinite future(she wanted kids right away) and finding the wife work to help pay the bills. I kinda hanged myself with my own rope there. After that I was devastated, left religion completely into agnosticism/atheism and a licentious bachelor life,  fast forward 10+ years with the sudden loss of my father (harsh/painful experience) I decided to give God a chance again. Novus ordo was out so decided to try what I had never experienced before, the TLM. I remembered from the seminary days, ok Lefebvrians so here we go, found me the closest SSPX chapel and my first Latin mass ever was, Palm Sunday of 2022 anno Domini, by the grace of God.

Outside the obvious core of the TLM which is reverence in the Liturgy etc. I was also pleasantly surprised with the piety of many of the faithful, women in long skirts and modest apparel, they are not at the level of the holly rollers(no makeup or jewelry and not cutting of the hair as a veil)but is good enough for me. Not everything is perfect though. I have noticed a bit of a maybe improper behavior from mostly single ladies to some guys, myself included, Its very subtle and lowkey so it doesn't bother me at all but it's there. I wish I had found tradition at he very beginning of my spiritual journey, oh well just is life, now the damage the modernists have done destroying the Faith and robbing the whole WORLD(not just he faithful) from experiencing anything catholic, is just an unbelievable crime. God will not be mocked, I guess this an uncharitable thing to say but I hope they burn. Anyway looking forward to reading the good, the bad and the ugly in the world of tradition in this board maybe ask some questions every now and them. Pax tecuм.

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...

Greetings in +Jesus, Mary and Joseph,

I'm seeking a Traditional Catholic Priest to say Mass in the Knoxville, Tennessee area - (once a month or even once every two months).

We have 11 people who will attend and I'm very certain I can find a few others totaling about 15 people who would attend.

Seriously, we will pay for a round trip flight and drive the priest from and to the airport and the priest could stay at our home instead of a hotel (each time).

We have had Mass said at our home before and can accommodate a total of 20 or so people.

Please do let me know if you know of any priest or can help in any way for us to receive the sacraments more often.

Thank you and Kind Regards in +J M J,
Roger Owen
