I am posting these to the library for you traditional Catholic history junkies.  Patrick Henry Omlor, along with Hutton Gibson (Mel's dad), was arguably one of the first sedevacantist layman.  He authored a couple of books, one of which is extremely hard to find, The Phantom Fourteenth, a history of why the Fourteenth Amendment was unconstitutional.  Years ago up in Cincinnati I met Patrick Omlor's son.  He was dating some Catholic gal who was living in the convent at the time.  It was pretty funny; he would knock on the convent door to take this gal out.  They ended up getting married, so all is well.

The other pamphlet I used to hand out years ago, Are You Still Catholic?
I will also upload these docuмents to my archive.org page.

Just glancing at the Are You Still Catholic? pamphlet, it reminds me of the samizdat-like literature (because that's pretty much what it is) circulated in the 1970s and 1980s, grainy, sometimes typewritten books that you might just happen to get hold of by chance, furtively left in some vestibule, seemed vaguely subversive and, of course, did not enjoy ecclesiastical (viz. Newchurch) approval.  Father Francis Fenton's newsletter from Colorado, though a bit more elegant (typeset, not typewritten), also comes to mind --- I was puzzled by his oblique references to "the occupant of the papal chair" --- as does Father Casper Chouinard's Eye Opener.  These were a real education for a young recent convert, such as myself, who was just beginning to see that there was something desperately wrong with this thing into which I'd just been received.

I came into Traditional Catholicism in 1989 and that pamphlet "Are you Still Catholic?" was floating around.  There were a couple of traditional priests up in the Minnesota area, because if I recall it was from that area.  I know Fr. Wathen headed to Minnesota/Wisconsin on occasion.  I will need to search around in my papers for Fr. Fenton's newsletters.  I am pretty sure I have some of those.

Great stuff—do you have the pamphlet on St Philomena?
