Well after nearly 14 years - I have reached a landmark of 1999 posts - even though a number are still pending release over the next few months. (Previous article on Why I Started This Blog - Link)

Background
I started this blog in August of 2012 as a repository for my research after realizing that all my work and discussions on AngelQueen and Ignis Ardens (link) were quickly lost in the continually rolling nature of forums.
Further, Angel Queen is defunct and Ignis Ardens died for a time before the forum software was bought by Tapatalk and reopened.
N.B. Suscipe Domine is a Catholic Forum that has a working moderation system with set rules and can be found here: Suscipe Domine (link). I was active on the forum for a while but no longer have the time to be as active.
I also got banned from forums like CathInfo (it took a couple of days) and a Resistance Forum that sent me an invitation banned me while I was writing my first post. Twenty minutes to banning remains my personal best.
Here's Matthews rationale for the ban:
At the time I found this part amusing:
He posted 100% of his posts in the "SSPX Resistance" subforum, even though he fundamentally disagrees with both the Resistance AND the SSPX itself. As a Novus Ordo Catholic (or Indult at best), he simply doesn't have a dog in this fight.I guess that the 'SSPX Resistance' subforum was only for 'resistors' like himself. Perhaps it was meant as an echo chamber. I find the conclusion that I disagree with the SSPX itself laughable - as well as the thought that I am a Novus Ordo / Indult Catholic.
Given how the Pfeiffer and +Williamson thing turned out and that it is over twelve (12) years and the SSPX hasn't compromised - I think it is clear who was right and who was wrong.😇
Now the owner of CathInfo seeks financial support and gifts from the forum members. I find this odd but to each their own.
There was confusion in the latter part of the discussions with Rome, but over a decade later the SSPX is still here and the 'Resistance' has simply become irrelevant. In my opinion they can't handle the truth so they have to re-imagine it. I have know idea what they will do if the Church actually does turn around in our lifetime - I suspect that pride will keep them where they are ... no where.
News RoundUp
Onwards with this month's RoundUp
I have reorganized my categories for the RoundUp - mostly for my own purposes.
- The biggest news is not what happened but what didn't happen. Pope Francis didn't try to ban the Tridentine Mass. This is a good thing for the Church as it allows the Graces from the Tridentine Mass to multiply! [Updated: I forgot to finish my thought :-) ]
