I was recently ...Hello there,<BR/><BR/>I am glad to meet you. I was recently introduced to the Traditionalist Catholic Faith through a boyfriend that I dated (although he just left the Church to join an Eastern Orthodox Community where he was attending Mass). Previously, I was in the New Vatican II Mass Church, and I have left that for now, but, I do have trouble understanding the various differences and factions within the so-called Traditionalist Movement. I have been moving around place to place trying to find true Catholicism. But, I notice more or less each group is in imperfect communion with the other, like Lefebvrists, Sedevacantists, Old Catholics, the Feeneyites, and Thucites, and this group and that group - you name it. All claim they are Catholic, some fight with each other, but more or less you can have communion in both sects at the same time. Ain't that so? Well that troubles my virgin conscience. So I have been praying daily for enlightenment, and I think God and his Virgin Mother has finally answered me. Now, as I was browsing around, I read about this Hot Topic Book being pumped up as a New Top Seller right now, and interesting enough it bears a Latin Title called "Communicatio in Sacris: The Roman Catholic Church against Intercommunion of non-Catholics" by Mr. William J. DeTucci (a seemingly unknown author). You can browse it here:<BR/><BR/>http://www.lulu.com/content/1431544<BR/><BR/>and also here:<BR/><BR/>http://www.vladcatholic.com<BR/><BR/>This book seems very authoritative from what I browsed online and I would be very interested to know your theological review of this book as far as its scholarship and academic honesty. The reason I thought you could help me is because I look upon your greater experience and high moral character in the Traditionalist Movement as awe-inspiring compared to my neophyte role right now. Secondly, I am personally struggling with my faith as my ex left me (who I still love) to fully join the Orthodox (after I tried desperately to bring him out of there to at least the Indult Latin Mass). So I have a major stake in this battle, you see. And so I would appreciate any tips or referrals to a book review about Mr. DeTucci's Work, this book could be what it claims "A Monument of the Catholic Faith." And I do plan to send my ex a copy, and also some other friends and family for Christmas gifts, if it is what it seems. So, again, any knowledge you could share about this work is simply "muy bien."<BR/><BR/>Graciously in the Holy Family,<BR/><BR/>Rosa Luz<BR/><BR/>P.S. Mr. DeTucci's www.vladcatholic.com, has an interesting video documentary on it featuring that Jewish Snake Michael "Marano" McDimond (my ex use to talk to him for hours and it was through him that he went outside the Catholic Church to frequent these Greek Liturgies and eventually lose the Faith), but I thought that so-called Benedictine Monk claimed to be a Sedevacantist? Well, I watched that video and he seems to contradict himself. Muy loco! You can watch it (it also talks about the Old Catholic Group CMRI (La Iglesia Catolica Vieja) and Deacon Andre Marie of the St. Benedict Center who seems to be a Freemason, here you go: <BR/><BR/>http://www.vladcatholic.com/DVD__Pseudo-Traditionalists.phpAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
