Growing up, Traditionalist Catholicism (FSSP) was Kevin's whole life, which to many of you, might sound like paradise. After all, many of the people who watch my videos are deeply attracted to the most traditional forms of the Catholic faith. It's easy for me to understand why. Kevin, however, has a different story to share. Rather than finding this form of Catholicism life-giving, it was the opposite. Here, he tells his story, and shares what he wishes converts knew about this Catholic subculture before diving in head first. This video is not created to argue against any particular truth claims or convince you to go one way or the other. Instead, it's an effort to counterbalance the one way narrative online about traditional Catholicism. Whether you agree with Kevin or not, I hope you hear him out.
