The SSPX is also the only trad presence in Asia, a continent with thriving Churches that will play a vital role in the future of the Church. Yes! My mom's home country, Indonesia, is the 4th most populous nation in the entire world, yet I still run into people all the time who don't know where to find it on a map or think it's some small place like Guam or something. But all Indonesia has for the traditional Mass is a clandestine one celebrated by a diocesan priest, and an SSPX priest who flies in to the capital one a month or so. Certainly. I think there are something like 5 million Catholics in South Korea now, and Catholicism is the fastest growing religion in that country, yet they only have one TLM a month. |

South Korea is an strange case indeed. It is supposedly an at least nominally "Christian" nation, and yet its popular culture is so hyper-sexualised that it even puts the secular West to shame (in many cases). There is also the strain of jingoistic/racialist nationalism, the commonality of weird and ironic corporal punishments in classrooms, the tremendous academic pressure exerted on students (and consequently the distressingly high youth suicide rate), the pervasive cultural pressure for women to abort children conceived outside of wedlock or otherwise "dishonourably," all the social problems that flow from having a poorly managed mandatory military service, not to mention the extreme superficiality and materialism evidenced by the bizarre epidemic of compulsive plastic surgery in that country etc. I'm not quite sure exactly what to make of it, but "judging by its fruits," I would say that Christianity has a long, long way to go before it gets anywhere near transforming Korean culture and giving it a warm and loving heart truly consecrated to Christ and His Church. Mind you, nowhere else on the planet seems to be doing much all that much better, least of all my native Australia... |

In truth...some of the things posted so far are pretty good and some are pretty cute...but what we have not really hit on yet is the good fruit to be had for tradism by a true integration....and that is the
1 - suppression of Jew hate,
2 - the ousting of naazism, etc...
3 - and the restoration of the idea that the US is a wonderful place...and idea
4 - and finally....a renewed vigor in the fight against Moohameedism by the renewed vigor found in the west in its roots...and the recognition of the vile evil that moohameedism perpetuates...

One third of the country describe themselves as irreligious, but the growth of the Church in Asia is something that gives me real hope for the future. I just did a quick google search and the Korean Church has 1500 seminarians. The Australian Church has a similar number of Catholics (5 million) but a tenth of the seminarians as our Korean counterparts. Hey, I spoke to you at church about three hours ago! Nice to see you on the forums. Welcome to fisheaters |

So, what's the dating scene like within the laity attached to the Society? Because young single trads are rare in my neck of the woods.

There's no such thing as "same sex marriage." Marriage is between one man and one woman. Period.
We are what you once were.
We believe what you once believed.
We worship as you once worshipped.
If you were right then, we are right now.
If we are wrong now, you were wrong then.
There is nothing more necessary to the survival of the Church than the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass; to hide it from sight is to shake the foundations of the Church. The whole Christian, religious, priestly life rests on the Cross, on the Holy Sacrifice of the Cross renewed on the altar. --- Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre
I beg you to pray for priests, most especially those on the road to Hell. They do not enter there alone, but with thousands of others that have followed them.

"THE LORD is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the protector of my life: of whom shall I be afraid?" (Psalm 26:1)
"And we, too, being called by His will in Christ Jesus, are not justified by ourselves, nor by our own wisdom, or understanding, or godliness, or works which we have wrought in holiness of heart; but by that faith through which, from the beginning, Almighty God has justified all men; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen." — Clement, bishop of Rome
"I love truth," says he, "and not sects. I am sometimes a peripatetic, a stoic, or an academician, and often none of them; but—always a Christian. To philosophise is to love wisdom; and the true wisdom is Jesus Christ. Let us read the historians, the poets, and the philosophers; but let us have in our hearts the gospel of Jesus Christ, in which alone is perfect wisdom and perfect happiness." — Petrarch

Not having friends tell me to be warry of attending SSPX chapels, because they're in "schism" or act "protestant."
To be honest, this happened only once and a while a go, too.
However, I think a better question would be: "Things you might enjoy if Rome returned to the Faith; whole and complete."

Feel free to start a thread with that title, and I'll explain why it contains manifest heresy.  |
