I found a great website today. It looks fabulous to me as someone who was never taught the ways of the pre VII Church.

Here is the home page: Apologia

It used to have a different name, but I can't recall what it was. I have corresponded via traditional Catholic email groups with the woman who runs this site, and based on my experience, I would recommend it highly.

As long as you stay away from the goofy links, such as novusordowatch.org, which paints every post-conciliar Pope as a freemason, secularist, socialist, and heretic.

It's full of paranoia, Max.

I clicked on the two "critiques" of the Catechism of the Catholic Church on this site, one of which was by the SSPX and the other from the Abbe de Nantes. Apparently the Catechism is full of heretical teachings, the Pope is a heretic, Vatican II Council full of heretical teachings, and all Catholics who don't agree are "Neo-Catholics". Give me a break! I am as concerned about orthodoxy in the Church as anyone. I value Tradition and tradition prior to Vatican II and desire more reverence in the liturgy. But this is just ridiculous. Perhaps the Catechism and the Vatican II documents could be criticized for their sometimes vague and mushy style of writing, but neither are heretical, or overturn Scripture or Tradition or the deposit if faith. The Catechism is in fact an effort to shore up orthodox teaching and belief in the Church. To just trash the Pope and the Council and call people names rather than working within the Church to restore sound doctrine and worship is merely destructive. It is not constructive in the least and bears no fruit.

the-pope.com is a sede-vacantist site.

Thanks. I didn't get to the homepage until now. It appears this lady has done a tremendous amount of work. I noticed she also linked to EWTN, the 1992 Catechism and the papal spanking on liberation theology. The hysterical naysayers haven't found time to comment on that I see.

I second your recommendation and urge all Catholics to check out the painfully honest "Dictionary of Dissent":
