Good morning everyone, I'm new to the forum. I am a Catholic revert and recently discovered tradition within the last year which was even further solidified when I attended an SSPX Ignatian retreat in March. I'm married with three young children. My wife is also a practicing Catholic but has not yet embraced tradition as I have. I would like to hear from any others that are in a similar situation with their spouse and how they have handled it.

Hello everyone,

I've recently found Catholicism and within the last few months it feels as if I've been drinking from a fire hose. I fell pretty hard for it as soon as I opened myself up to it. I was never anti-Catholic at all, and I guess you could say I was LARP'ing as a protestant before, desperately trying to feel anything amid the guitar solos and unserious nature of the worship. My girlfriend grew up in a Catholic family but was never baptized and is agnostic so I'm trying to pull her over currently.

Anyway, I had my first experience of the Latin Mass last night and was blown away by the reverence and solemnity of the worship. It was everything I thought it should be. Even in my naivety, it always made more sense that everyone was turned toward Christ and not facing one another.

That's it. I also like fried chicken.
