Books about Traditional Catholicism? It is way more aesthetic than my parents boring Protestant church. I've been watching a lot of SSPX videos on youtube and the Latin mass is pure kino.

What are the essential Traditional Catholic books? I already have the Douay-Rheims Bible, Latin Vulgate, Lives of the Saints, Sayings of the Dessert Fathers, Aquinas' Summa Theologica, The Baltimore Catechism, True Devotion to Mary, The Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius, The Rule of Saint Benedict, and De Imitatione Christi. Just getting into this and could use some recommendations. Traditional Catholicism has lit af aesthetics, way better than my parents boring old Protestant church. Also what books should one read before going to semenary?

At least some of them will turn to Orthodoxy and Catholicism. Especially as both of the oldest branches of Christianity recover their ancient traditions. It's going to be something that seems very real in a world where everything is increasingly fake.

>Was there Catholic faith just some sort of identity they wore like clothes on Sundays?

Yes. American Catholics are notoriously awful, and I say this as an American. Remember, they all flouted Humanae Vitae and continued to use birth control, and they were fucking proud of it. Online Trads can be kind of cringy, but at least most of them seem somewhat committed to actually obeying the Church's teachings.

And the worst part is that America is the dominant imperial power right now, so the shittiness of American Catholics gets spread around the world.
