What's "anonymous" about the book?

Hi Clare-

Sorry for the confusion: The book is not anonymous, but the compilation of some of its contents (ie., the CCCC thread which I wrote under the pseudonym “X”) was, for the reason given in Matthew’s OP.

We ordered from Matthew already. I am looking forward to reading it! I will be ordering for my family as well. They have very little internet so all they hear is what the SSPX priests tell them, which is nothing. It will be good for them to have something more tangible than just my word or "hearsay" from CI. They are sympathetic to the Resistance based on a couple of concerning trends they have seen over the past 10 years but in terms of knowing what practical changes are taking place they are looking forward to this book. Thank you Sean and all who have had a part in putting it together!

Thank you for helping the cause!

Yes, I think there are MANY Trads that either don't go online, or don't make use of Traditional Catholic forums. I think this book version is going to do a lot of good.

I'm pretty excited about it, just as I was about the CCCC thread itself. That thread is in the top 2.5% of Resistance threads of all time -- even though many of the Resistance threads pre-date the new software (2015?), and in the old forum software the view-count could be inflated by the same person hitting <F5> to refresh a bunch of times. So it's a bit of an unfair contest. If those older threads had been born and raised in the new CathInfo forum software, their view count would be lower.

But even with all it's popularity, the CCCC thread is limited in reach to those who frequent Trad forums, and those who do a lot of browsing and reading online. That misses a huge swath of Trads who are offline, or "aloof" from Catholic social media for various reasons.

I'm someone who as attended SSPX chapels (St. Vincent's in KCMO and was married 21 years ago TODAY in St. Mary's) for 28 years,  can honestly say EVERYTHING in bot the thread and this book when it arrives will be much needed help in ringing the bells "the modernists are at the gates! get your guns grab some rope!

Now something I can give to my wife that she can take the time to digest rather tan trying to explain long complicated threads she has no interest in trying to digest.  She tends to trust me but I'd like her to have something like this she can take her time with so she can feel assured.  I am real close to red-lighting SSPX but mass opptions are few here.  I won't attend FSSP nor ICKSP as their priests are doubtful, which is where the SSPX is trying to get anyway.  

I've become soft Sede-Vacante but SSPV is 3+ hours away and as of now I'm not sure about CMRI in Topeka.  Any suggestions?  Looking forward to this books arrival.
