TradCircle is dedicated to the Blessed Trinity and claims Our Lady of the Blessed Trinity as patroness of this site and its members. The Circle is the symbol of the Trinity, Almighty God who is one yet three, whose Three Divine Persons are never alone. They are "the three holiest persons in Heaven," as St. John of the Cross said. The purpose of this website is to encourage isolated Catholics not to be alone, but to associate virtually with other Catholics as well as to help them persevere and grow in the faith, the love of God, and eventually the easier to reach Heaven.

Please pray three Hail Marys each day for the success of this site and the perseverance of all Catholics in this time of chastisement and betrayal.

TradCircle: Purposes and Standards
Approved by Fr. Anthony Cekada

1. The general purpose of TradCircle is to facilitate wholesome interaction between traditional Catholics (16 and up) who are sedevacantists* and who agree on certain principles pertaining to the practice of their Catholic faith. (See: Membership Policy: A Special Requirement).

2. One special purpose of TradCircle is to assist young single Catholics in eventually finding a like-minded spouse.

3. TradCircle also hopes to offer them an opportunity to make new friends and to keep in touch with old ones. There are a lot young people in sedevacantist chapels throughout the world, and we hope this site will allow them to meet, encourage, and have fun with their counterparts elsewhere.

4. TradCircle is a moderated web site. This does not mean that the Moderators must approve each and every contribution before it is posted, but rather that the Moderators will remove objectionable content when they become aware of it.

5. What constitutes objectionable content?

• Anything positively harmful to the salvation of souls.
• Anything at odds with faith or morals.
• Anything that frustrates the stated purposes of the site.
• Anything the Moderators judge to be objectionable.

6. Objectionable content will be removed, with or without further comment or explanation, as the Moderators may see fit. Members who repeatedly post objectionable content will be banned.

7. In particular, videos and photos must not violate the standards of Catholic decency and modesty. (For some pointers, see Resources for Modesty - below.)

8. Music that embodies the false values of modern popular culture (rock, pop, jazz, country and Western, etc.,) shall not be played, discussed or promoted on this site.

9. In order to make this site a truly Catholic experience for everyone, Members shall strive to make only wholesome contributions.

10. “Borderline” cases under points (5)–(9) will occasionally occur. These will be decided by the Moderators, and if content is removed, there will be no appeal.

11. At the same time, please note that although the Moderators will make every effort to enforce proper standards on this site, they cannot possibly be aware of every contribution as it is made. On this point, the Moderators count on assistance from Members in the quest to maintain standards. If therefore you encounter objectionable content on this site that you believe needs to be modified or removed, please contact the Moderators. ( Ned Brugger and Matthew Fournelle )

12. If you have a problem with another Member, please email the Moderators for help in resolving the conflict.

And finally… please include the success of the TradCircle networking site in your prayers. Some can plant the seed, others can water it, but only God can make it grow.

TradCircle Membership Policy: A Special Requirement
by Fr. Anthony Cekada

A primary purpose of the TradCircle networking site is to assist the sedevacantist* Catholic single in eventually finding a suitable spouse (the required minimum age for membership on this site is 16 years).

Since the regrettable divisions among traditionalists have often made this difficult (as I noted in an article several years ago), and since we do not wish to perpetuate these conflicts among potential spouses, TradCircle requires that each member of this site:

(1) Be a Catholic sedevacantist (*that is, one who has arrived at a correct understanding of the actual situation in the Church; affirming that Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI is a heretic, and therefore no true Pope) .

(2) Rejects, both in principle and in practice, assistance at Masses of clergy who profess communion with Benedict XVI.

(3) Rejects in principle and in practice the policy of clergy who refuse communion with Bp. Dolan, Bp. Sanborn, Bp. Pivarunas, the CMRI, the Institute Mater Boni Consilii, myself, Fr. Zapp, Fr. Ahern and others associated with them.

We regret having to lay down requirements like this, but since husband and wife are supposed to support one another on the path to salvation, there must be harmony between them in matters of Catholic belief and practice.

If you cannot meet these requirements, please do not sign up for membership on this web site, or, if you already have signed up, please remove your account.

Yours in Christ,
The Rev. Anthony Cekada
