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.

Striving Catholic, twice now you have intimated that we have slandered the pope. Nobody here has done any more than stated his public words and actions. Can you show any evidence that anyone one here has done any other but offer the information you have asked for and commented on your own poor knowledge of the Faith founded on the apostles, as opposed to Vatican II. 

You have much to learn, being a neophyte of less than 3 weeks!

Are you praying the Rosary? Does your lady friend pray it? Do you pray together?

Know that God has only the best for you and for her, if only you will do His Will.

You are absolutely right. I just looked back at the old posts and found no one actually slandering the pope, just coming dangerously close to questioning the papacy as well as the claims of an invalid Mass, etc. That got me really troubled and upset.

Anyways, after some reflection, I think I am just in the wrong place at the wrong time, assuming this forum is a place for the everyday catholics but it's not. I was here with the intention to seek prayers and advice, not really looking to join another cause or have another conversion.

Thus for my rash words, I apologise to the Christian brethen here and seek everyone's forgiveness. I bid everyone farewell.

God Bless!

Feel free to pop in and ask for prayers anytime. 

I know I get annoyed by the whole array of differing opinions here, but such is the nature of the world we live in today with lots of unanswered questions, lots of good but opposing arguments, and lots of laity who really are not qualified to judge a lot of things, but there certainly is doubt when it comes to the mainstream Catholic Church judging some matters because of its clear unusual shift away from centuries and millennia long held procedures and truths towards long condemned principles. Cardinal John O'Connor, for example had many traditional opinions with a few modern liberal ones mixed in just like a modern day Republican.

I can totally understand how this must have all hit you.  However, I don't believe your coming here was a mistake.  There was a reason for it.  As St Giles said, come back when you are ready/need help.
