Unfortunately these days truth is hard to come by and discern. The proof is everywhere as we see so many people with very divided opinions, all thinking they have the truth and their way is right. If Athiests and Protestants were easy to convert to Christianity and Catholicism, there would hardly be any. Most people don't really try to seek the truth. They aren't on the same page on how to go about seeking the truth. Both sides deserve a fair shake. You have nothing to lose (except perhaps eternity, but God is the judge of that) but only truth to gain by investigating this matter honestly, thoroughly, and prayerfully. The SSPX's arguments as held by its deceased founder are quite solid, and the post conciliar church's arguments are relatively weak. Carefully test and prove the truth with prayer and much patience. I have had many reasons to lose the faith, but by first proving myself faithful and holding to the faith, with prayer and patience the clear answers eventually come. Some answers which are not strictly necessary still elude me, such as the validity of the Pope, but that is not important considering the circuмstances. It is prudent to consider him the true valid pope, but act accordingly if he teaches false doctrine. Don't let the odd opinions and frequent disagreements here on this forum turn you away. We have the answers here to the core issues.


I just found this video a few minutes ago by chance. It seems somewhat relevant with regards to finding truth.

That is odd especially after a year or more.  I have to wonder whether the two of you are suited for marriage (even if your first marriage was invalid).

As for living with her (as long as you don't commit any acts), I'm pretty sure a traditional Catholic priest would tell you that you should move out. I think your NO priest did not give you good advice, but it's pretty typical of the Novus Ordo presbyters.

After learning more about what is going on in your situation, I suspect that your struggles after baptism is God warning you that you need to remove yourself from this living arrangement (at the very least).  Although we should expect difficulties after our conversion/baptism, I think it's odd that it happened right out of the gate for you.

Let's just say our sex drives are six feet under.
