As much as I enjoy reading this website, I am wondering if their are any sedevacantist websites out there that have message boards that have a lot of posters. I am sick of visiting huttongibson.com/ MHFM youtube page every day looking for videos, I need something more. Its very important to me right now because I am in a situation in which I will be without the sacraments for 3-5 months beginning tomorrow.

To be honest it kind of disgusts me Bishop Fellay is even negotiating with this Vatican II sect, considering they have no catholic authority.

If you know of any sede websites/message boards please PM me.

This question (or a similar one) comes up a lot.

There are a handful of insignificant sedevacantist fora, but none with even 1/10 the traffic or membership of CathInfo.

Let's just say there's a reason why CathInfo has so many sedevacantists. They want a board with some activity.

Especially for all the single sedevacantist guys (=plenty of time on one's hands), you're going to need a forum that's "CathInfo or greater" in terms of size and activity. Such a forum doesn't exist in a strict Sedevacantist flavor.

I personally have a theory (proven by a certain amount of scientific data) that people don't want to be a member of a forum where people are TOO narrowly focused. People want a bit of variety thrown in, or it's too boring. No one wants to be a member of "Rural Catholics of Irish heritage", even if that perfectly describes them. Variety is the spice of life. (Corollary: No variety, no spice.)

There's just no motivation to post if everyone on the forum agrees with you. Please don't take this the wrong way, but I'm quite confident about this point.

To return to my example, I can only read so many posts along the lines of  

Yesterday, while walking to the family garden, I took in all the beauty of my acreage, and I sang "Whiskey in the Jar".

I'm listening to the Clancy Bros. right now. How about you?

The Incorruptibles was a spin-off of Fisheaters, set up to be "FishEaters without the drama". Today the forum no longer exists. About 120 people signed up, but they rarely posted.

Even Gladius_Veritatis and several other hard-core sedevacantists used to be members of Fisheaters for crying out loud, and many might still be there today if they had a choice.  Of course, when Fisheaters still allowed sedevacantists they only had around 700 members...

I personally think CathInfo is just the right balance of focus (Catholicism; no atheists, non-Catholics or de-facto heretics) with variety (sede, SSPX, and other trad Catholics).

I personally have a theory (proven by a certain amount of scientific data) that people don't want to be a member of a forum where people are TOO narrowly focused.

One good reason for that is that the moderators of such fora tend to be tyrannically arbitrary in their moderating behavior, censuring opinions contrary to their own, belittling certain forum-members who have a different "take" of the issues that conflicts with their interests and agendas, super-exalting grovelling party-liners, &c.

As I have told you in a PM sometime ago, I as a sedevacantist would never join a "sede forum" or a forum run by "sedes." It's all too creepy for me sometimes.

Here at CathInfo there is not only activity and variety, but also a balance insofar as one can see "the other side" or this or that issue.

Personally, I have learned more about sedevacantism from the non-sedes here than from the sedes themselves. The discussions I have had here have helped me gain a more clear understanding of how complex the situation really is.

I wasn't trying to bash cath info.........I just want more online resources. These are the four resources I check daily:

-Cathinfo

-MHFM

-Tradition In Action

-Hutton Gibson.com

I realize you weren't trying to bash CathInfo -- I was just letting you know that you're not alone, and that many others have wondered the same thing. And a bit of the "why".

Yeah, thanks for letting us know TKGS. I just might sign up one day...

That's not a discussion board, it's a John Lane monopoly where you either toe the John Lane line or won't last long.  

I learned a lot reading the forum but would have no inclination to post there.
