The United States is a "civic" nation and not an "ethnic" nation. American citizenship is not based on belonging to a particular ethnicity, but on political loyalty to American democracy and values. Regimes based on ethnicity, which support the doctrine of perpetual allegiance as one is always a member of the ethnic nation, are not concerned with assimilating non-ethnics since they can never become true citizens. In contrast, the essence of a civic nation makes it imperative that immigrants assimilate into the greater whole as there is not an "ethnic" cohesiveness uniting the populace

Founded in 2006, CathInfo is the largest English-language forum dedicated to fostering community and discussion among the Traditional Catholic remnant, scattered throughout the world, who strive to take the Faith seriously and learn the truth about all things sacred and secular.

CathInfo provides information, news, and discussion, as well as a place to meet fellow Traditional Catholics for friendship and support in our struggles with the Modern World.

We welcome the largest possible number of faithful Traditional Catholics of good will, from all backgrounds and walks of life, who are able to coexist in the same virtual space with those holding a wide variety of viewpoints on the Crisis in the Church, which began around 1965 with Vatican II.

CathInfo embodies the maxim: "in necessariis unitas, in dubiis libertas, in omnibus caritas." which translates: "In necessary things unity, in doubtful things liberty, in all things charity."

Therefore we allow as much free discussion as possible, and moderate posts only rarely. Think "free speech" minus anything sinful.

CathInfo is the de-facto discussion headquarters for the SSPX Resistance, which it officially supports.
Traditional Catholics worldwide have made us the #1 forum for SSPX Resistance news and discussion in the English-speaking world.
