My first in a series of interviews with former trads, here I speak with David Massa, a Long Island native who spent time the Institute of Christ the King and SSPX. As a Catholic, I'm sorry to learn he no longer considers himself part of the Church, but it was good to hear his story. I asked people to reach out if they had been traditionalists but had left, and I had quite a few people reach out. I did not know any of them (so far) before speaking to them, so their stories were largely a mystery to me too (although I did message a bit just to make sure they were real people and had some knowledge of the movement).
