  • Hi, not sure if I am using this forum correctly or if anyone will see it. My name is Rosie and being away from the faith for at least 30 years. I was baptized, and confirmed. Now that I want to go to the church and receive communion, the priest recommends that I and my husband take RCIA classes and then convalidate our marriage (we are not married at church). Only then I can receive communion, is that true? Forgive my ignorance, I have to study a lot I guess. Anyway, as this RCIA was created in 1965, is there any other way to receive the communion? My husband is not willing to go to church as yet. There is no SSPX, FSSP around where I live, I am lost and sad, what do you guys suggest? Some suggested that it is better to pray the 15 decades rosary everyday than go to a Novus Ordo Mass. What do you think? I have been criticized by some that all this discussion about modernity in church is causing division and I should go to mass no matter what. I confess that I didn’t know any of that Vat II. I was confirmed in 1978, so for sure it was in an NO way. And where to go to confess? I am glad I found this forum. Sorry for my English, I may have done some mistakes. Sorry for the long introduction, I wanted to create a new topic but I couldn’t figure it out. :confused:

    Thank you for your attention and bless you!

  • Welcome, Rosie. You have received a special grace, so don’t be sad or worried. Don’t go down the RCIA path. Get those books Miseremini suggests, and do pray the Rosary every day. Your Mother will lead you to Her Son. 
    Help of Christians, guard our land from assault or inward stain,
    Let it be what God has planned, His new Eden where You reign.

  • Hi, Ms. Rosie, I am a layman from Mexico. I answered some of your questions in red below and added a few comments after the quote. 

    Hi, not sure if I am using this forum correctly or if anyone will see it. My name is Rosie and being away from the faith for at least 30 years. I was baptized, and confirmed. Now that I want to go to the church and receive communion, the priest recommends that I and my husband take RCIA classes and then convalidate our marriage (we are not married at church). Only then I can receive communion, is that true?

    Yes. The Church does not recognize civil "marriage". Only celibates or sacramentally married people may receive communion. Your situation can be "fixed", but you should discuss how with a traditional priest.

    Forgive my ignorance, I have to study a lot I guess.

    I suggest that you start with a solid catechism written before the Second Vatican Council, for example: Saint Pius X's catechism or Baltimore's Catechism. You should be able to find them online and physical copies on Amazon.

    Anyway, as this RCIA was created in 1965, is there any other way to receive the communion?

    You should not have anything to do with the RCIA or the diocesan "priests" or "bishops", because certainly they are all heretics, since all accept the Second Vatican Council. More info about the Second Vatican Council and its consequences here: Start Here: Why this Web Site, and what’s going on in the Catholic Church – Novus Ordo Watch


    My husband is not willing to go to church as yet. There is no SSPX, FSSP around where I live,

    The "priests" from the FSSP have compromised by accepting the Second Vatican Council. Plus, their orders might not be valid, which is why I wrote "priests" between quotes (see explanation here). Therefore, you should not go to confession with them nor attend their masses. The SSPX priests are validly ordained and have not explicitly accepted the Council, but their organization has multiple other issues that you may research elsewhere on this site.

    I am lost and sad, what do you guys suggest? Some suggested that it is better to pray the 15 decades rosary everyday than go to a Novus Ordo Mass. What do you think?

    Praying the Rosary is a million times better than attending the Novus Ordo mass, not only because the Rosary is probably the greatest devotion of the faithful, but mainly because the Novus Ordo mass is not a Catholic rite. Attending it is equivalent to attending a Protestant service, and therefore, it is a mortal sin.

    I have been criticized by some that all this discussion about modernity in church is causing division and I should go to mass no matter what.

    The problem with their reasoning is that the NO "mass" is no mass. Would a true Catholic attend a lutheran service if there were no Catholic Churches around him? Of course not. The same reasoning applies to the Novus Ordo.

    I confess that I didn’t know any of that Vat II. I was confirmed in 1978, so for sure it was in an NO way. And where to go to confess?

    I strongly suggest that you make another post asking for options near you to attend mass and confession. You should give your general location (country, state, city, region...). I'm sure somebody will give you an idea.

    I am glad I found this forum. Sorry for my English, I may have done some mistakes. Sorry for the long introduction, I wanted to create a new topic but I couldn’t figure it out. :confused:


    Thank you for your attention and bless you!
    Don't be discouraged by the current situation in the Church, since Our Lord said:

    Quote
    Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and you shall find: knock, and it shall be opened to you.

    And He is faithful to all his promises. Do penance and earnestly ask for His grace, and He shall give it to you.

    Develop friendships with the angels and your patron saint and specially with Our Lady, because of what the Memorare prayer says:

    Quote
    Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
    that never was it known 
    that anyone who fled to thy protection, 
    implored thy help, 
    or sought thy intercession, 
    was left unaided. 
    And also: study! See what the issues of our time are, and what is the course of action that a Catholic may take for the salvation of his soul and the glory of God.

    ¡Viva Jesús!

    Please, disregard any opinions and references that I have posted that may seem favorable to any traditionalist group, especially those that pertinaciously deny EENS (CMRI, Sanborn, Dolan and associates, for example).

  • Rosie, here are the two books I mentioned.  You can read them here before deciding to purchase.
    If you do buy My Catholic Faith make sure it is from 1961 or before, (the reprints are fine)  they updated the book every year for about 10 years.

  • WOW, thank you all for your messages and prayers. I will buy a good Catechism book to start,  not sure yet if Baltimore or My Catholic Faith, they were in my shortlist. 
    I live in Ontario, Canada. How can I find a traditional priest? If it is not too far I may try to connect with him. 
    I was excited to find a church nearby that celebrates a TLM low mass but in their website they say it follows the Extraordinary form Missal 1962, and the priest is part of the city Diocesan i. e. It is Novus Ordo, isn't it? Is there a website to find these tradicional priests? 
    Thanks again and bless you all. 🙏

    The SSPX does missions too, which part of Ontario are you in? Near the GTA or Northern?

  • Hi, Ms. Rosie. You may find below in red some answers and contact info of traditional priests in Canada.

    WOW, thank you all for your messages and prayers. I will buy a good Catechism book to start,  not sure yet if Baltimore or My Catholic Faith, they were in my shortlist.
    I live in Ontario, Canada. How can I find a traditional priest?

    Latin mass in Eastern Canada, under Bishop Pierre Roy: Mission Notre-Dame-de-Joie / Our Lady of Joy Mission (latinmassmaritimes.org)

    The Congregation of Mary Immaculate Queen (CMRI) offers mass in London, Ontario and Whitby, Ontario. Contact information here: CMRI Directory of Traditional Latin Masses (outside the U.S.A.) – CMRI: Congregation of Mary Immaculate Queen

    If it is not too far I may try to connect with him.
    I was excited to find a church nearby that celebrates a TLM low mass but in their website they say it follows the Extraordinary form Missal 1962, and the priest is part of the city Diocesan i. e. It is Novus Ordo, isn't it?

    Yes, the red flag there is the phrase "extraordinary form". When someone uses that phrase to refer to the traditional mass is because they are recognizing the NO "mass" as the "ordinary form" of the Roman rite, which should be unacceptable to any Catholic. 

    Is there a website to find these tradicional priests?

    I posted a couple above.
     
    Thanks again and bless you all. 🙏

    God bless you too and Our Lady keep you under her mantle.
    I pray that you persevere in this search. It may mean that you must drive several hours for your valid and licit sacraments, but they are the means that Our Lord uses to communicate to us His divine life. So, how could not be worth it?
    ¡Viva Jesús!

  • Hi,

    I've been on 4 Catholic Forums in total now, banned for life on all of 'em. 

    Thus before I start here I would like to list the forums I have been banned from and the reasons why so that moderators and others here can assess whether I should even try to post here or not. If not then I'll just call it a day and be on my way.

    1) Catholic Answers Forum
    I lasted quite some time here, first signed up when 'gαy marriage' was sweeping the western world and had hit Australia, the name wasn't thought through as josh1 was taken, josh2 was taken etc... I didn't think I'd be there long but once I had a name I wanted to keep it just in case I ran into others I had met there.

    The lifetime ban occurred around the time of the Martin Luther 'commemorations' that were taking place and were celebrations in all but name only... There was a case where Catholics were praying the Rosary in the back of a Church where they'd done one of these 'commemorations' with the Priest even removing the tabernacle to do so and then called the police on these Catholics inside a Catholic Church so they were arrested and another Priest on the forum there was happy about it... I can't remember exactly what I said as it was so long ago, but essentially he said as a layman I owe obedience to the Priest doing such things and I said something along the lines of you can't trash hundreds of years of hierarchy and then try to pull rank with me.


    2) Catholic Common Sense
    The lifetime ban occurred around the beginning of C0VlD... I could see the writing on the wall thanks to many heroic doctors and others blowing the whistle on not only the dangers but also aborted tissue and I tried to warn others about the possible side effects of the jabs and strongly suspected the mandates were coming (which they did in the end) I talked about ADE, that they were not the same as traditional vaccines (themselves having numerous problems) as this was gene therapy and entirely different, I said that one should try to make an informed decision but to never be swayed by peer pressure and force, do it only if you think it'll be good for your health and not because you are pressured. Anyway... the moderator there was actually very good but she told me that the decision was out of her hands as it was demanded by the website host as I was spreading misinformation/disinformation whatever terms they want to use and therefore I had to go.


    3) FishEaters Traditional Catholic Forum
    After much study and research I came to the conclusion that Pope Benedict XVI was deposed and usurped and that Bergoglio was not validly elected (Not only do we have Wikileaks proving they were conducting a 'Catholic Spring' against the Church, but later that same year in 2014 Victoria Nuland and others were in Ukraine conducting a violent coup there against Yanukovych, so Pope Benedict XVI has simply been one more victim in a long line expanding many years IMO)... This was intolerable to some there but didn't get me banned straight away... one member however who took such objection to me that they started slandering me by saying I was private messaging him insults which I knew very well I never sent a private message to that individual at all... surely the moderators could have seen and known that... I got banned anyway so I don't know what happened there, I suspect I was framed by a disgruntled member.


    4) Suscipe Domine Traditional Catholic Forum
    This one was the most surprising I thought and I don't know how people will respond here but I'll give it a try.


    So I have an Orthodox friend where we discussed valid matter for the Eucharist as he believes that Unleavened Bread is invalid matter... so I found on YouTube one Priest speak on it (I was surprised at how few videos and resources existed defending the use of Unleavened Bread) anyway, the Priest simply said it was based on the rules around the Passover... Exodus 12... and I thought at the time, why make such a weak passing remark when you have such a strong case?... well I don't ask that question anymore.

    I know now that making the case for Unleavened Bread puts Catholics in a very precarious position considering the Eastern Rite and the Orthodox (I have no beef with either)... the Orthodox on the other hand have pointed this out to me and I think they have a good case in that I don't at all think both matter are the same or equal and I would like to get to the bottom of this when it comes to something as important as the matter for the Holy Eucharist.

    Ironically, the Eastern Rite Catholic I was discussing it with was not at all offended and I would have liked to have a good conversation with him about it, however, the moderator who uses Unleavened Bread himself was very outraged by it and another member was even more so who offered no arguments and just a litany of insults, way over the top for what I said... I guess it's a very emotive topic.

    Anyway, the ban was already a forgone conclusion at that point and the tipping point came when the moderator longed for the return of when heretics were burned at the stake to which I mentioned that St Joan of Arc met a similar fate and how he called me a heretic and how the same has been said of many factions within the Catholic Church and outside the Catholic Church, which then becomes a matter of who is the most blood thirsty and ruthless wins the day. 

    I think the use of Unleavened Bread was very clear in Exodus and not a light matter as all the Jєωs (why does this word default to that kind of font? Only noticed when editing this post) would have had to know it very well to the point where not even having leaven in their homes and being cut off from Israel if they ate leaven during this time (Exodus 12), furthermore, Jesus sent Peter and John to prepare it... to prepare a Passover... no leaven in sight (Luke 22:8, Exodus 12)

    The other thing I'd mention, is that if it were a form of typology, then why just the bread? Why not the wine also? Having the bread changed but not the wine for a case of typology also doesn't make sense, furthermore, in terms of foods that most closely resemble that of flesh and blood, I can think of no better than Unleavened Bread and Red Wine.

    There is also the point that the Greek 'Artos' was used instead of the more accurate term 'Azymos' to which I would mention, there was no need to use the more specific word of Azymos at this point, as it had already been made very clear in Exodus 12 with the rules around the Passover, that they were preparing the feast of 'Azymos' (Unleavened Bread) and so the general term of 'Artos' (Bread) was more than sufficient IMO as there was no leaven to even be in sight and the reason why I think this is important, is because Exodus 12 makes such a big deal over this issue for something that some people want to deem unimportant.

    Anyway, not sure how all this will be received, I know it's a lot. The more I learn the more of a precarious situation I seem to put myself in. I can backup everything I have said here with sources if you would like... except the forums which no longer exist or private messages of course.

  • Welcome to CI, Josh!
    I doubt that you'll have much trouble here if you want to discuss valid matter for the Eucharist, but you will likely get some pushback quoting Faustina like you do in your tagline. :cowboy:
    I hold it true, whate'er befall;
    I feel it, when I sorrow most;
    'Tis better to have loved and lost
    Than never to have loved at all.

    Welcome Josh!

    I think that I at one point or another was a memeber of all of the forums you mentioned except for Catholic Common Sense. 

    I am not sure if I was ever banned from any of the aforementioned forums but they weren't solidly traditional so I eventually just stopped going on them once I found more solid tradition Catholic sites like this one here.

  • Welcome to CI, Josh!
    I doubt that you'll have much trouble here if you want to discuss valid matter for the Eucharist, but you will likely get some pushback quoting Faustina like you do in your tagline. :cowboy:
    Thank you Emile :)

    I've had push back regarding St Faustina before... I'm fine with it, there is nothing one could say that I haven't heard before and if there is I'd like to hear it lol, only way to refine my positions and be sure. I've read some valid criticism and some not so valid criticism on that front... I still believe in the legitimacy of St Faustina and Pope John Paul II... I think Pope John Paul II made it in terms of Sainthood but there are certainly some valid criticisms of Pope John Paul II... I don't know if I should say Saint or not, seems to vary wildly among Catholics.

    I mean, I too was surprised and upset to learn of that Assisi meeting and the Quran kissing, both bad and he should've been corrected on. I can see how one can err and I don't know all that was going on behind the scenes and the pressures he was under, I do believe his predecessor Pope John Paul I was αssαssιnαtҽd though (USA Church Committee 1975, Untraceable Heart Attack Gun), so there were no doubt many pressures on him and the tools and resources are infinitely better than in 1975... same with Pope Benedict XVI, I think they did the best they could or knew how given the resources available to them and the circuмstances they were under.

    Furthermore, regardless of what one thinks of St Faustina, I think those versus in my signature are self evidently true and powerful, I've read similar form other Saints I just like the format from St Faustina's Diary the best.

    Thanks AMDGJMJ

    The name looks very vaguely familiar, can't remember anything that might've been said between us if any previously though. :)

    I stick to just the one forum at a time until I get banned (which is not something I try to do), as it can be very time consuming.

    God Bless
