Trad Catholic. Pro-SSPX. Pro-life advocate. Anti-Feminist. Ex-new ager/occultist hoping to warn people away from it so they don’t make the mistakes I made.
Headcoverings I love outside of mass:
(I get the 4” it is like a very wide soft headband. I wear these for work).
Also Walmart carries bandanas that are cheap and come in a lot of colors and patterns.
My not so spicy take of the day is that we need to stop worshipping the 1950s nuclear family setup because it was actually the stepping stone to destabilizing the family unit. Bring back the multi-generational family as the ideal.
Please pray for the soul of a 5 year old little boy found dead in a creek nearby. His 3 year old sibling was also found, but was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
I am so grieved. My friend from high school died yesterday. She was in her early 40s and leaves two small children behind. Please pray for her soul and her family.
Lost another bridesmaid when she realized I’m not a cafeteria Catholic and I believe abortion is wrong in all cases. 24 days before the wedding. She can’t bring herself to witness my marriage. Still wants to be friend though 😐
I just found out that one of my son’s teachers had a baby born at 28 weeks and has spent 100 days so far at the children’s hospital with issues that are life threatening. Please pray for that sweet baby and her family.
Had another person kinda go at me today for being Catholic-expecting me to answer for every rotten apple in the institution. I’m so over everything. I just broke down crying in the kitchen.
I feel like I’ve hit a brick wall in my spiritual growth. I pray the rosary and many morning prayers and prayers at meals. I got to mass weekly. I don’t habitually commit mortal sin. It feels a little like a dark night of the soul. Not sure where to go from here.
Went to the TLM today. I don’t know how anyone with an ounce of reverence could prefer the Novus Ordo mass.
Received the Eucharist next to a nun in full habit. It was amazing.
My “agnostic” husband has been asking what we would need for a home altar and said tell him what I want and where and he’ll make it happen.
Once again, just convert already 😂
The amount of Catholics personally canonizing Pope Benedict is appalling. “Heaven just gained a saint.” I hope so, but we don’t know that. He could be in Purgatory. Do something actually Catholic and pray for his soul. Err on the side of caution with these things for their soul!
Catholics are so lost. A woman in an FB group posted a Victorian painting of mass and wondered why it looked so different from the mass of today. So many are still so clueless about the Mass of Ages and it’s so sad.
If you consider yourself Catholic, but think there is something wrong with public Eucharistic processions or eye-roll at them, it may be time to re-evaluate some things. Same goes for people who scoff at a daily rosary. What are you here for…the vibes?
What on earth happened with Fr. Pavone!? What exactly did he do? I found his Trump pushing a bit much…but he did so much for the unborn. We have pagan idols being put on altars and priests advocating for gay marriage that are being promoted but he gets defrocked!?
So I’ve decided to headcover full time. This has been tugging at me for over a year. After some research, I simply cannot come up with any good reason why Christian women stopped. St. Paul is very clear, and it was anti-cultural at the time. Later on, headcoverings… 🧵1/6
Tired of the “trads are meanies” take. Every side of an issue has nasty people and they are usually the loudest. If you think NO-goers are all teddy bears then you’re just willfully ignorant.
I have an interview tomorrow for a job that will help people and also allow me to fully live out my faith instead of having to keep it toned down while corporate wokism is shoved down my throat. I am so ecstatic.
Left caths really boggle my mind. Just saw one comment that “nobody is going to hell over abortion.” If you aren’t going to hell over murdering babies what in the world ARE you going to hell for? They really think hell is empty.
I wish I had friends. That feels stupid to admit when you’re 40. But I also don’t feel good enough for the type of people I would want to surround myself with. I never know what to say. Or I say too much and overshare or put my foot in my mouth.
Really struggling today. Very little friends or family and all an hour away. No one close to me that shares my faith. I feel alone in all aspects. I know, I know, offer it up. But it’s still hard.
Nothing like someone acting appalled and implying I’m not Catholic because I denounced Pachamama. That is truly something. There’s only one place Pachamama belongs-back at the bottom of the Tiber. That’s not Our Lady.
I joined Twitter to connect with like-minded Catholics because I was very alone. I’m sad to see how much petty drama and name-calling goes on-it seems to just be getting worse and by people I otherwise respected.
Could use some prayers that the doctors find out what is wrong with me. And quickly. Unable to work but unable to get disability benefits until they know. Alternative is I have to quit my job and our finances will be wrecked.
I’ve been struggling with a lot and my faith lately and not to be *that* person but I feel like the devil has been tempting me lately. Any prayers you can spare are appreciated.
I need to get to confession and the earliest I can go is tomorrow. How do people just live lives in grave sin and don’t care? That used to be me and I don’t even recognize that person anymore. Anyway here’s hoping I don’t drop dead before tomorrow morning.

I’ve had a hysterectomy, but still have my ovaries. Guess what-I don’t have a period. Because a period IS your menstrual cycle. I do experience hormonal cycles naturally due to still having my ovaries. Your cycles due to hormone therapy are not periods. A real woman knows that.
I appreciate all the prayers for my husband’s conversion. The seeds are planted and it’s truly up to God now. I know some think we shouldn’t have married, but we were engaged when I came back to the Church and he was my
#1
supporter. I wasn’t gonna kick him to the curb!
Officially done with the Novus Ordo. How the heck am I going to get my kids to understand how to be reverent to the Eucharist when even a deacon isn’t! Second bad experience with this one and my oldest noted he passed out the wafers “like a teacher handing out tests”
I regret getting the 💉. Considering not getting the second dose but not sure if there is any point. It’s already in my body now. I don’t know what came over me. I am so ashamed and my mom and fiancé who all got it too feel the same.
The amount of women in this “Catholic” facebook group I’m in who scoff at the idea of any modesty in dress for mass and refuse to veil even if they attend the TLM is astounding.
To the trads out there, would you treat the children from a marriage that was annuled by the Church poorly? Be honest. I can deal with the judgment towards me as I see it as my penance. But they don’t deserve it.
Would like to hear from women who made the transition to only wearing skirts or dresses. I always want to do it, but sometimes it feels impractical-like when it is very very cold, at my kids’ sporting events.
My son was fidgety during mass today. I thought he was nervous to do his First Communion. He said it was because he was so excited. I can tell it meant so much to him. What a huge difference 6 months made. Thank you, Lord
I believe this is also roughly the time period where we began getting the hellish cookie cutter house neighborhoods and architecture for homes tanked. These were not glory days they were the beginning of the end.
I have a sensitivity for the souls in Purgatory. I was raised Protestant and on the idea that Christians went straight to Heaven. Purgatory was a new idea to me when I converted almost 23 years ago. And it wasn’t so hard to accept as an idea, but harder when applied to loved ones
While I personally dislike the Novus Ordo Church, I hardly assume anyone that attends the NO mass is bad anymore than I assume every single TLM goer is necessarily good. The exchange of persinal attacks between both camps is getting exhausting.
My mother informed me she is going to confession this week and plans to start attending mass with me. She’s been to mass here and there over the years but not received because she would never go to confession (though I have no clue why not) anyway please pray she follows through!
I gotta admit someday it feels like doing all I can to get the boys to mass and catechise them feels pointless when I know it will have little impact since their father doesn’t practice and won’t do it. I do it because it’s my duty but still is really upsetting.
I need mom friends. But I don’t feel good enough for anyone and I don’t fit in anywhere. I feel very isolated and alone. No one close to me shares my faith. Everyone acts like I am nuts. I don’t feel like I belong with the mothers at church though they have been welcoming
Protestants will tell Catholics they are going to hell and then go off to their Luciferian Freemasonic lodge. I know because I was raised prot, told to believe this about Catholics (with a lot of misinfo) and most of the elders were freemasons. Miss me with your nonsense.

@VanityFair
Disgusting. You always manage to outdo yourself with sacrilege and Vanity Fair is an accomplice Mocking Our Lady of Sorrows. Instead, you should be praying fervently for her intercession.
I gotta say it’s been weird watching the same people who used essential oils and tuning forks in lieu of medication and medical procedures suddenly decide nothing that doctors or pharmaceutical companies say could ever be wrong.
1/2 As unhinged as this sounds, I promise you that as we pray for a Supreme Court ruling in favor of life, there is actual witchcraft being done to maintain and even expand the culture of death.

No they shouldn’t. The Eucharist isn’t a prize you get for showing up to mass. Promoting abortion is a mortal sin and you shouldn’t receive in a state of sin. Everyone is welcome at mass. Not everyone is welcome to receive. Read a cathechism.
I don’t know who needs to hear this but mass js not the time for the organist and choir to grandstand. That’s what your Christmas concert was for. Mass is about Jesus, not you.
Headcoverings (eventually in the form of hats in public but still headcoverings) for women came to a halt in the US in the mid 20th century-coinciding with the sexual revolution. Women have historically spent more time covering their heads in public in some form than not.
Although Ill add there have been no glory days since Eve messed it all up. Every time period since had its pros and cons The reason the American 1950 seem ideal is we already had a lot of similar modern conveniences, but enjoyed a bit more trad morality and a nice economic bubble
I keep having the thought of blogging about my reversion story, and my experiences with the paranormal and occult (as a warning) but I don’t know if anyone would be interested?
I am really struggling with disorderded eating again. Right now it’s compulsive overeating. But I know I’m going to start gaining my weight back. I keep trying to get back on my diet, but always end up overeating. I’m terrified of going back to old ways of compensating for it.
My boys notice how henpecked many men in our family are. They notice how mean and hateful their grandfathers/great-grandfathers are treated. We’ve talked about it.
Women-don’t do this. It isn’t cute or funny. And the young boys in the family notice
One thing that occurred to me is that if I want to resist the trans agenda, a good step is to authentically embrace my own womanhood and femininity. Men should not be wearing more dresses than I am.
POF. I was not living a Catholic life. He saw marriage as a piece of paper. We were together for 3.5 years before we finally got engaged and a few months later I had a sudden reversion. He took it like a champ and said the prep made it mean so much more. Pray for his conversion!
The comments on this are great 🙂
If y'all wouldn't mind dropping a comment/quote tweet of where you met your spouse & a pic - people seem interested 🤷🏻♂️
We met on hinge 🙏
The situation with my husband’s aunt has escalated. She asked me if I died now if I thought I would go to heaven. I said yes since I am not in a state of mortal sin, but with a probable stop off in purgatory. Then I told her I did not wish to debate this further
I know people are displeased with his attire, but be charitable. I myself went on a journey of what I thought was appropriate mass attire and I have watched people evolve at my chapel. He may shift too.
@FiatLuxGenesis
Wasn’t Earth Day started by someone who ended up committing murder? And yep-totally right. I’m reading Windswept House by Malachi Martin written and set in the 90s and it’s eerie. Easy to see how we got here.
