Hello. So, I posted here, I think, three weeks ago, and I ask you to read this https://www.reddit.com/r/sspx/s/sZqszSKLhT post to understand my situation.

So three weeks have passed. I tried to contact SSPX in Saint-Petersburg. No answer. I tried to contact it through Moscow and Belarus. In Moscow--no answer, the email to Belarus for some reason couldn't be sent.

I tried to find some information about SSPX for three weeks now, but found none.

Plus, a few day after I had posted for the first time, Una Voce in Russia said, that due to relocation of the priest celebrating the Mass in a Diocesan parish, there won't be any TLM in Saint-Petersburg at all for some time.

Today I decided just to go to the place, where the Chapel must be located according to the most recent sources, but there is no chapel. I waited for half an hour, but yhere were no people coming. I even went inside, but it is a simple house, there seems to be no sign of a church/chapel.

I literally don't know what to do. A few days ago I found out there is an Eastern Catholic parish in the city, and it gave a little bit of hope. But the problem is I am in my heart Traditional (!) Latin, not Eastern Catholic. Plus I don't know anything about Eastern Catholic liturgy (to be fair I don't much about this parish too; as I understand it is located a floor under a Roman church). And I feel uncomfortable about the thing, that I will have to change rite (if I become an Eastern) in the future to become officially Latin.

I don't how to act. It scares me much that I am not baptised. Because Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus. Every day it sucks being unbaptised. But I don't know what I have to do.

I prayed to God about this, and though I know that He heareth, I don't feel like He does.

Thanks in advance.

Hello, dear brothers and sisters in Christ, from Italy. I will spare you some boring details of my story.

I’m tired of the fruits of Vatican 2. And I’m even more tired to turn my gaze elsewhere (mainly the Orthodox) with admiration and yearning. With this painful feeling of having been robbed, betrayed.

God made me born here. I am surrounded by ancient churches and indescribable beauties, of which I am an unworthy heir. I want to follow in the footsteps of my own rite.

But I’m kinda ignorant. I’ve attended a total of three TLM’s in my whole life. Mostly because they are far from me. I’m scared to make errors…I know I will.

Doesn't the reception of people into the Church require authority, or at least delegation from one with the proper authority? How can the SSPX receive people into the Roman Catholic Church without any actual authority?

This is a genuine question, not a gotcha.

Helle there, Eastern Catholic here, what teaching do the sspx follow that made rome excommunicate your order? I have no knowledge about this other than what i have read online so please do enlighten me.

Thank you and May God bless you all

I know that the SSPX rejects gallicanism and recognize-and-resist, that's obvious, but I don't know their position on ultramontanism.

Sedevacantists are ultramontanists, but what is the SSPX's position on ultramontanism?
