"Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to that arrogant oligarchy who merely happen to be walking around." -- G.K. Chesterton

was born and brought up in California. However, his family is originally from New Mexico and has been in the American Southwest since A.D. 1692.
He was baptized and confirmed in the Roman Catholic Church (Archdiocese of Los Ángeles). He attended St. Anthony of Padua parochial school in San Gabriel and the Don Bosco Technical Institute in Rosemead (concentrating in materials science). He then moved to Philadelphia to attend the University of Pennsylvania and is now currently working in the Philadelphia area.
He has spent many years familiarizing himself with the Latin Mass and has learned much about Catholicism from a wide variety of groups including the Anglo-Catholics, the SSPX, and the FSSP. Frequently describing himself as a 'moderate traditionalist', he has a particular dislike of Catholic 'NeoCons', as well as Sedevacantists. Though he attends churches in full communion with the Holy See, the vast majority of his family assists at Mass in the SSPX chapels of the Los Ángeles area, which they began attending in the wake of the ensuing radical liturgical changes after Roger Mahony became Archbishop of the See of the Queen of the Angels.

Pope St. Pius X on Zionism
"We are unable to favor this movement. We cannot prevent the Jews from going to Jerusalem—-but we could never sanction it. The ground of Jerusalem, if it were not always sacred, has been sanctified by the life of Jesus Christ. As the head of the Church I cannot answer you otherwise. The Jews have not recognized our Lord, therefore we cannot recognize the Jewish people...
I know, it is disagreeable to see the Turks in possession of our Holy Places. We simply have to put up with it. But to sanction the Jewish wish to occupy these sites, that we cannot do...
...I as the head of the Catholic Church, cannot do this. One of two things will likely happen. Either the Jews will retain their ancient faith and continue to await the Messiah whom we believe has already appeared—-in which case they are denying the divinity of Jesus and we cannot assist them. Or else they will go there with no religion whatever, and then we can have nothing at all to do with them. The Jewish faith was the foundation of our own, but it has been superceded by the teachings of Christ, and we cannot admit that it still enjoys any validity. The Jews, who should have been the first to acknowledge Jesus Christ, have not done so to this day...
Our Lord came without power. He came in peace. He persecuted no one. He was abandoned even by His apostles. It was only later that He attained stature. It took three centuries for the Church to evolve. The Jews therefore had plenty of time in which to accept His divinity without duress or pressure. But they chose not to do so, and they have not done it yet.
...I have always been in friendly relations with Jews. Only the other evening two Jews were here to see me. There are other bonds than those of religion: social intercourse, for example, and philanthropy. Such bonds we do not refuse to maintain with the Jews. Indeed we also pray for them, that their spirit see the light. This very day the Church is celebrating the feast of an unbeliever who became converted in a miraculous manner—on the road to Damascus. And so if you come to Palestine and settle your people there, we will be ready with churches and priests to baptize you all..."
--Pope Saint Pius X to Theodore Herzl, the founder of the Zionist Movement, in the year of our Lord 1904.
