Recently, an online forum for Catholics that are sympathetic to the Society of St. Pius X has accused the volunteers on this site of being against traditional Catholics. Not only is that an absurd thing for them to assume as they don't know any of us personally, but that also is simply not true at all. They have used an ad hominem attack against us to try and discourage people from coming to the site or sharing their stories if they left independent groups that have no canonical ties to Rome.
To be very clear, no one here is trying to point a finger of judgment against other traditional Catholics and to say that these other Catholics are not Catholics at all. There is no hatred on this forum that they have accused us of. Go read all the posts for yourselves. There is sympathy and support for people in these independent Catholic sects that have decided that they're not going to stay outside the One Holy and Apostolic church any longer. None of us are here to pit Catholics against each other, this is a community that is here to support all Catholics that have decided to either leave or are beginning to doubt these independent groups such as Sedevacantists, Old Catholics, or the SSPX.
I myself had been both a member of the SSPX at one point and in a sedevacantist group later on. I still talk to sedevacantist friends of mine.
If any visitors have any questions, feel free to ask them.

Well said, Dan! I never understand why people who are self-identified as "devout Catholics"--or even straight-up Christians--attack others with such venom. It's probably the most unChristlike behavior that there is. It kind of seals the deal on whether or not their way is The Way.
Glad to hear the official stance, and couldn't agree more. This forum has been both helpful and charitable, and allows us a place to not feel gaslit and yet pray for each other. Persevere!
THEY are guilty of doing the very thing they accuse others of..its called 'projection'..goes clear back to the book of Genesis and the garden.. you will not die...but that was a lie..
Those who are outside the jurisdiction of the See of Rome are not members of the Catholic Church..but they pretend they are and demand we accept their error..
