When I was a trad Catholic. I sang in the Church choir, myself and the organist would sing Latin hymns, I also attended "underground" masses conducted by an old retired priest in Latin, and we waged a guerilla war against Archbishop Hunthausen of Seattle.
I belonged to Catholic Truth, we received the Wanderer, a newspaper put out by retired nuns and it called John XXIII the anti Christ and Pope John Paul and antiPope.
Once upon a time, I was the lawyer for the "Blue Army" and I am not even Catholic. I think Catholic Charities is the greatest, but there is a lot of institutionalized paranoia. The Jesuits were persecuted by the Dominicans during the Inquisition. Some priests were cleansed by fire, as if they were heretics. As recently as this year, Francis excommunicated bishops. You'd think they'd have rabbit ears for groups like Christian Truth, let alone the "old" Catholics. Domini, Domini.
The Wanderer is published by one branch of the Matt family. It was originally a newspaper published in German for German speaking Catholics, but after use of German was discouraged in World War I, it started publishing in English. After Vatican II, one of the Matt brothers sided with Vatican II reforms and he continued to publish the Wanderer, which is ultra conservative. The other brother strongly disagreed with Vatican II and started publishing a rival paper called the Remnant. Both papers are still in print and have subscribers.
I’ve done some reading of my own. The Wanderer is popular with trads still in the churc, and the Remnan with trads whole have broken with Rome. My own preference is for National Catholic Reporter.

Wow, how do you know all of this. I and my friend use to sneak into the church on Sunday before mass and leave copies in the pew.
