As a girl who has grown up within the SSPX, I have firsthand experience that some of the higher-ups in the SSPX like to push young Catholics into making choices that they will regret later in life. And before anyone comes at me, yeah life isn't easy, and never will be. I have seen too many unhappy marriages over the years and I have come to the point where I no longer believe that marriage is even an option for me. Almost every week at Church my pastor talks about young people having two choices, religious life, or marriage, and if you don't choose either of the two you are selfish. How is that even fair, neither of them is 100% guaranteed. I could get rejected by the convents OR there will be ZERO men that I'm even interested in, or aren’t my cup of tea if you know what I mean. And I know there will be older married people on here going to think “You’re young you don’t know what marriage is like” which is true, but how many of the couples on here were also rushed into marriage? Marrying someone you dated/courted for 4 months sounds like a recipe for disaster. And not to mention that that same couple probably doesn’t even have enough income to support a family. Instead of bothering the guys in the parishes to find a girl, tell them to find a major in college or a good-paying job, something that will benefit them in the long run. These are real issues that are never addressed, people turn a blind eye to them because it’s been normalized. If I want to get married I want a guy with a job, a house, and financial security, is that too much to ask? I’m not asking for millions, I’m asking for a home that we can stay in forever, money for our kids to feed them and to go to college and pursue what God wanted for them. It’s not rocket science, it’s simply planning for the future. Also, can we please stop the idea that it’s vain to take care of your appearance? NONE of the guys at my parish are interested or even have the care to work out or be fit. So in conclusion, stop trying to rush young Catholics into decisions that are life-changing, please...

Reportedly the Starlink satellites are the size of an office desk and are allegedly between 200 and 300 miles away, and have no exterior illumination.  So how can you see something the size of an office desk from 200+ miles away at night when it has no source of light?  Maybe they're not what Elon et al. claim they are.  Have you ever thought about that?


Supposedly they reflect the light of the sun.  I've never seen them, but there is video of them traveling in tandem, like a train going through the sky:



Light such as this being 200-300 miles away isn't so outlandish.  The red blinking lights you see on TV towers, which can be 2000 feet tall, are about the size of a shoebox (albeit with internal illumination) and can easily be seen at night 10 or more miles away, if you have a straight shot from your location to the transmitter.  An office desk is several times larger than one of these lights (think office desk versus shoebox).

I think you have an interesting point.  The society has become effeminate. But is it because of the women (taking over), the men (letting them), both, or something else?  Maybe if we reestablish a good Catholic society these things would go back to the way God intended.  For now I guess we just have to muddle through this world with our strong Catholic principles.

It was an orchestrated plan by the Jiu's and haters of Christian Societies.  It was a direct attack on the family unit because they knew that was the backbone of society. 

They started by pulling men away from their homes and into industrial and factory type jobs instead of working at their homesteads and making productive property and family businesses, etc.

Then with the orchestrated World Wars they started to get women into the workforce and pulled them away from the home.  Now with jobs co-ed there would always be occasions of sin and adultery which breaks family bonds.

Then the current "EdJєωcation" system was set up and established to get the kids out of the home and brainwash kids with the anti-Christian garbage you see today.

It was a gradual and purposeful dismantling of society, piecemeal to break family bonds so they can be owned by the state.  I believe it will be fixed someday with the Catholic Restoration but when that happens is unknown.

It is just that I am trying to determine what I am seeing in the night sky.  I am a visual person.  I know what the solar system model is for heliocentric and geocentric.  I cannot visualize what the solar system model is for a flat earth.  I have tried to ask for a model representation of a flat earth, because I don't have time to try and figure out how to find one, but It seems that I can't get the people on here to show me one either.  I am sorry if I am not being clear, but all I want is to see a model of this flat earth with the sections of atmosphere, planets, and space. 

I like this one:

Eleison Comments DCCCLXXIV (874)

The Newsociety Superior General, Fr. Pagliarani, raised this question at his Conference in Econe on September 8 last year, but if the Newsociety absolutely wants to be loved and recognised by freemasonic and modernist Rome, then such a question simply cannot be raised. Which is why he took a clear position – the new-rite Consecrations are valid.

What your seeing are lights moving through the sky.  We don't know what it is that you're seeing or what we're seeing to cause these lights.  We can only hypothesize or else accept the claims of modern science about what they are, in cases where they do try to tell us or think they know themselves.  What you saw in that string of lights appears to have been artificial, but what it is we won't know.  Government has tons of hidden/classified technology that they'll never let us know about.

He sounds really close to the SSPX, or at least the NeoSSPX, but just hasn't quite got there. Understandably in my opinion. It takes time to carefully discern the truth, or you are liable to either give it all up and lose the faith or dive into some sort of extremism.

I'm really enjoying Vol 1 The Ridgefield Letters from the Bp. Williamson Letters from the Rector series. Lots of good bits of History in the somewhat early years of the SSPX, including Rome's thoughts and arguments against the SSPX at the time, and why the SSPX does what it does.

Actually that statement came from the Roman Archdiocese of Singapore.

Nevertheless, I am somewhat traditional to a certain degree but I wouldn't go to that extent as to create a schism within the Church, where our own brethen either slander the Pope, or claiming the Novus Ordo is invalid and a fake mass, Vatican II is invalid, etc... as if the Church is fallen, thereby sowing seeds of confusion and erroneous views among the laity within the Church.

Having heard all that, it did SSPX no favors. To me, that's somewhere along the lines to what the Protestants did. And I do not wish to have any part of that.



To be fair, you’ve come to this particular forum asking a question. Scroll down to the bottom of the webpage and read the description of the forum:

“the de-facto headquarters of the SSPX resistance”

this forum is populated largely, if not entirely by traditional Catholics who attend SSPX/resistance/sedevacantist Masses and hold these theological positions. The answers you’re going to get for this or any other question you ask are going to be informed by this perspective. Heed the advice, or don’t heed the advice, but it is pointless and stupid to come here asking for advice and shut the advice down because it doesn’t align with your perspective. That’s bullheaded, illogical, and a waste of your own time.

I can never understand how there can be an annulment between two Catholics if there are children with their marriage?     

What does the Bible say about divorce and remarried? 
Whether or not there are children involved doesn’t have anything to do with annulment. 

An annulment is simply stating that the sacrament of matrimony was never validly confected. 

yes, the conciliar church dispenses annulments like candy, but pre-Vatican 2 there could certainly be cases where marriages were annulled, even with children involved.

an annulment is not a divorce, even if the new church might treat it this way.
