Hello everyone. I wanted to talk about the other forum, Suscipe Domine. For the past year I have been posting there more than here. But I never stopped reading this forum. For a while I was upset over all of the flat-earth discussions and was tired of sedevacantism debates on Cathinfo so I started posting more at Suscipe Domine than here. Members come and go between the forums. I see Jayne used to post more on SD but now she posts more here. I have seen Stubborn post both here then there. And Cantarella has posted on both forums. Greg used to post here and debate Telesphorus but he was banned years ago. Now he is one of SD's most prominent posters. I am sure there are many others. At first I thought SD was too liberal, but in posting there I have found it is a mixed bag, though generally more liberal than Cathinfo. As far as moderators go, I prefer Matthew to Kaesekopf. I prefer the beliefs about cօռspιʀαcιҽs on Cathinfo (except for flat-earth and Michelle Obama is really a man) and I prefer the Cathinfo stance on the Jєωιѕн question. About the resistance versus the SSPX, I still attend my SSPX chapel. There is supposedly a resistance Mass available sometime two hours away, but it is secretive and the Mass is not public and I have no one to drive me that far. I am not against the resistance but I have not given up on the SPPX either, perhaps out of necessity. I think there is a general consensus on SD that most of us over here at Cathinfo are nutters. I have never been among this crowd as I am A "Hero Member" with over 5 thousand posts here and only a "Vizekorporal" with a little over 2 hundred posts there. I have found my time there pleasant. But I think I am on the right wing of the forum there while here I am more in the middle.

There are some good members there. I recommend Maximilian who I wish would post more. He is a veteran traditional Catholic forum poster going back well over a decade. He used to post on different forums that closed down like Ignis Ardens. I don't know if he ever posted on Cathinfo. But he has interesting ideas. He seems sympathetic to the Old Catholics and does not believe in Papal Infallibility and is sympathetic to the Jansenists. I like him even though he has unique ideas and he was once described on this forum as the best traditional Catholic poster on the internet. Michael Wilson is a nice Sedevacantist who posts there. I liked christulsa who has a blog I liked but he is taking a year-long hiatus from posting there. There are other good posters as well. But my favorite poster is named Pon de Replay. He does not like the pop song that shares his user-name but he took it as a joke and despises the song. He is my favorite poster on any of the forums and I always look forward to seeing his posts and sending him private messages and reading his blog where he posts his fiction. Sometimes I only go to the forum to talk with Pon de Replay and hope to see his new posts. But he apostatized! He is no longer a Christian of any kind. He used to be fond of the Church Fathers but now he does not believe. But I still love him. I started praying for him every day when I learned he was no longer a Christian. There are other posters as well. But those are my favorites.

But now I may start posting here more. I am a little weary of SD and of forums in general as I have been on them for eight years, but I like the ability to speak to other traditional Catholics so I plan on continuing talking on them for now at least. I have been writing on my private blogs but I am always afraid of sharing my blogs with other people. I may make one of my blogs invitation only and let some of my friends read it, but I am afraid of sharing. But as for SD it is worth looking at even if only for Pon and Max. Those are my thoughts on SD.

To be a good Traditional Catholic you have to be willing to be called a "nutter". Or else you end up like the neo-SSPX, striving to appear mainstream, worldly, sane by the world's standards, etc.

Either you believe the Church was infiltrated by Freemasons (a conspiracy, and a secret society) or not. If you don't believe such, you will end up Conservative Novus Ordo at best, but not Traditional Catholic.

Traditional Catholics believe in being apart from the world, considered strange/backwards/dinosaur/nutter/etc. and consider it a badge of honor and orthodoxy.

Let's face it: not only our liturgical sensibilities (Mass in Latin), but also our practices of piety, our morality (large families? homeschooling?), our dress, our priorities, and many other things set us apart from the World, whether we like it or not. Being Traditional Catholic is not very PC. We generally expect our women to stay home (give up any "hope" of a "career") and raise our many children. Do you think the World is ever going to respect that?

And that's not all: the gulf between Catholic sanity and The Modern World is getting wider, not narrower. Lately they've developed the gender spectrum and in Canada they require professors to use each student's "preferred pronoun" even if that pronoun is an artificial, made-up word!

Better to embrace the term "nutter" -- get it over with -- and more easily save your soul, I say. Sloughing off the shackles of Political Correctness and Worldly Esteem is quite liberating. The Modern World is against Christ and controlled by тαℓмυdic Jews and Freemasons anyhow, so I want no part with it. The World loves abortion (infanticide) for crying out loud! Just listen to "The World"'s reaction to the recent Irish referendum approving abortion. Young ladies cheering like they won $50,000. Because now little babies can be legally killed right here in Ireland! Like I said: stop, World, I want to get off.

I could go on for paragraphs for what The World wants for you and I. sɛҳuąƖ license, marrying late, birth control, having 2 kids, a 30 year mortgage, put lots of time (both husband AND wife) into career and money, send kids to public school (and a connecting series of camps every Summer), a divorce or two, fulfill your bucket list, and then end up in Hell for eternity.

No thanks! I spit on that course of action. Perhaps some other things as well, but I'll leave it at "spit".

The world is what's insane.  Traditional Catholicism is the last stronghold of reason.
