I am afraid I have to agree with Jaynek, for CIF is as far as I can see, is the RESISTANCE forum. As another who goes to Mass in a SSPX chapel, I have seen what the 'resistance' people can do and say to turn others to make them leave the church where they went to daily Mass for years and all the different activities to do with Catholicism. Not once have I heard anything that is not the Catholicism of my 76 years of experience in my SSPX chapel. If I did, I too would look for somewhere else.  

I cannot count how many times I have read on the Resistance thread this 'betrayal' of Tradition was imminent, next week, next month. But in spite of that never happening, the Resistance take the position that if it hasn't happened in fact, it has happened in the mind. Proof of this is everywhere. Indeed even when I was writing my answer Joez posted 'and I will be looking when the SSPX ship finally sinks.'

I have of course tried to find out what motivates the Resistance. For years I have read and heard that the SSPX were about to join the Modernists in Rome. When it comes to free speech, debate or try to point out a position contrary to this resistance on CIF, I have learned from experience, one would better wear a crash helmet. Only resistance opinion is welcome on this thread. That is not free speech.

For this very reason, as Jaynek agrees, I rarely refer to CIF as an open Catholic Forum. Yes it is the best Catholic forum I have come across, but it has a thread that invites criticism of every SSPX priest who choses to remain within their Society of Priests, irrespective of whether they too would be concerned or are waiting to see if the SSPX did enter a relationship with the Modernists and what kind of relationship this would involve.

Matthew asked a question. Jaynek and I answered his request in charity.

What is "CIF?" It has a very specific meaning here in California. If you intend to mean "CathInfo" that's CI, not CIF.

Read often.  Almost never post. I would not hesitate to recommend Cathinfo, but I am the only traditional Catholic I know, besides my husband, in this small-town in Texas. Also, I am still learning. We have an indult Mass and I am thankful for that. The youngish priest is coming around, and his homilies are getting to be quite brave. I am hopeful. I am 64 and my husband will be 70 in November. His health isn’t great so we don’t drive very far. We do the best we can to preserve our faith.

Yes but you gotta admit Sean Johnson hasn't been here in a while now :)

Yeah, but he does keep turning up like a bad penny.

Unfortunately, most of my real-life friends can barely use a computer much less post on a forum.

Same here!  And the few that are on line know about this site.
