Are they in good standing with the Church? It says they are, yet they also admit their views are different than the current Church view, i.e. “extra ecclesiam nulla salus”.

It’s quite conservative politically, and has an inherent bias towards the Extraordinary Form of the Mass, but that’s not necessarily bad.
More problematically, it’s run by disciples of the late Fr. Leonard Feeney, best known for his rigorist interpretation of Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus, which brought him censure from the Church. While Fr. Feeney was reconciled to the Church before his death, this site claims that he was never really censured, and that his interpretation of this dogma is the “true” one.
I’d personally advise recent converts, converts from Protestant denominations, and those who are not well catechized to stay away from it. However, it does have much to offer to a discerning reader, especially if he or she shares their political and liturgical convictions.

As I understand it, the answer to that is no, they are not.
I may be wrong though.

I would personally advise the same. When I was in RCIA I came across fisheaters which brought some disturbing thoughts to my attention. It took me some time to reconcile that it was still good that I was in RCIA at the parish I was at.It’s quite conservative politically, and has an inherent bias towards the Extraordinary Form of the Mass, but that’s not necessarily bad.

I dont know anything about them, but looking at their web-page it looks like the are a community of lay people who are in good standing with the church. They are traditionalist and promote an interpretation of one particular Dogma of the church which varies from the commonly accepted interpretation.
That does not call into question that dogma. rather they have a more traditionalist interpretation of it.
They are keen to claim appropriate conformity with cannon law and to make their status known. They are keen to claim to be on good terms with their bishop and the Pope.
I would not consider their publications to be in any way authoritative. They do not claim any Nihil Obstat or Imprimatur for the content of their website. It therefore has no authority to claim to be in conformance with catholic teaching.
They are a community of Lay women living in keeping with the teachings of the church as best they know how.

Fisheaters is another “curate’s egg” of a website.I would personally advise the same. When I was in RCIA I came across fisheaters which brought some disturbing thoughts to my attention. It took me some time to reconcile that it was still good that I was in RCIA at the parish I was at.
On one hand, it has a wealth of valuable information, particularly on traditional Catholic devotions and practices.
On the other hand, it features a bucketload of questionable articles, some of which border on disrespect of official Church teaching.
Again, unless you’re well grounded, stay away.
The following site is an excellent resource on which Catholic sites are safe to use, and which are questionable:

but doesn’t a “strict” interpretation contradict, say, documents such as Lumen Gentium or the Catechism’s explanation of the dogma? Wouldn’t that go against Church teaching?

Doesn’t Catholic Culture promote seder meals?

I’ve just seen them recommended over here, and whatever I’ve read from them seems fairly sound. (Except some of the politics, but show me the man who can be objective about politics, and I will show you a saint.
)Their list of “liberal” sites to avoid is pretty awesome, though.
I think “centrist” is a good way to describe them, in general, even though right-left-centre isn’t always the best language to use when discussing religious view.

This alone would give me some pause for concern. If a site supports one serious error, I would be concerned for their opinions in other areas.
