I'm a male American, raised during the 60's and 70's, originally from the Rust Belt but now living in Texas, cradle Catholic of Polish, Dutch, Norwegian, and British ancestry, indulter/Ecclesia Dei since 2004, lurker on this forum and others for about 15 years, college-educated but have held a variety of jobs over the years including work as an agroforestry extension agent in a Latin American village in the 80's. The last twenty years I've worked in manufacturing, mostly oil and gas and aerospace.
I usually describe myself as an Old-Fashioned Catholic rather than as a Trad for reasons that may become obvious as time goes on.
I'm especially interested in the 19th and 20th centuries and in American history in particular the 1950's to 1980's, in other words, the run-up to Vatican II and its aftermath. As I said, I'm old-fashioned so I prefer to look backward to see how we got where we are rather than try to make any predictions about the future.
I work long hours so it's difficult for me to engage in back-and-forth debate, so please excuse any tardiness in answering a reply.
