When I left the SSPX in 1999 I
did not keep in contact with any members of the movement. Neither did I
frequent the legitimate communities granted the pre-reform missal by Rome. I
was traumatized, as anyone escaping a cult is, and I wanted to assimilate into
Catholic life quietly and without obstacles. (Gary Campbell, I Will Go Unto
the Altar of God: A Reply to the Traditionalists on the Mass of Paul VI [St.
