I follow NLM and Father Zuhlsdorf, and occasionally look ar Rorare Caeli… Any other good TLM or traditional blogs?
 
There are groups on facebook that are interesting. Some are closed groups that you can ask to join. Catholics against Modernism is an anti Vatican II group that is interesting to look at, but ticklish to engage on (at least I don’t post on it). There are a couple groups formed by “fans” of Father Chad Ripperger as well. Yes, there are a couple of those because there was one group and some people argued and split off… Are they good? It is a mixed bag.
 
Not a Traditional blog but the magazine First Things is a must for intellectual Catholic thought. There can be some heavy stuff but my brain is addicted to the magazine.
 
How do you get the magazines?
I don’t think I have the money for a subscription though.
 
Go to Barnes and Noble and read the magazine there?

I get mine thanks to my Grandpa who is subscribed. I read them over at his house or take them home after he is finished with them.
 
I don’t have any grandpa’s to borrow magazines from.
Barnes and Noble is a bit far from where I live, but I didn’t know they had religious magazines there.
 
My local Barnes and Noble does not carry First Things.

They have an on line subscription service that lowers the cost to roughly $20 per year. (If my memory is accurate.)

As stated above, you can sign up for their email service and they will send you free past articles.

I think that when you buy a subscription, you receive access to their entire library of past magazines.

If you have a seminary close to your home, you may want to ask them. I’d imagine that they get free magazines so seminarians would become familiar with the magazines before they go out into the real world.

Good Luck!

1.) Some traditional type blogs explain Catholic tradition. They provide useful information, not taken out of context to make a point. They obviously regard the current pope and bishops as authoritative, and have a connection to their own ordinary. Despite the climate of confusion, they affirm Catholic tradition, and act traditionally.

2.) Other supposedly traditional type blogs are obsessed with current events. They definitely do not regard the current pope and most bishops in general as authoritative. They have no connection to their own ordinary.

Within this second group, they compete with each other to see who can be most “edgy”, or most confrontational towards the Vatican. If Site A is accusing people in the Vatican of venial sins, Site B has to accuse them of mortal sins, or else their website hits, ads and donations switch over to Site A, and Site B will go broke.

This second group of blogs is not functioning along the lines of Catholic Tradition, they function along the lines of 2018 media - they just happen to be looking at the Catholic Church.
