Well, since it's almost July, I think it's about time for a new thread, don't you? *Note for any new readers- by "traditional Catholic" we generally mean moms who do their best to stay faithful to the Magisterium.
Cagnew, I'm only halfway through it (The Salvation Controversy), so it hasn't addressed the "no salvation outside of the Church" part yet. But yeah, I tend to agree that that teaching has been really watered down or even ignored since VII
So far it's basically corrected a lot of Protestant misconceptions about the Catholic view of Salvation, including things like penance, indulgences, etc. Right now he's addressing Calvinism.
Dh and I went to Latin Mass for the first time last night.
It was very lovely. Too bad we only have the opportunity once a month! But we're going to try to attend every time it's offered (Una Voce offers it at a parish 45 minutes away the 4th Sunday of every month). I was a little saddened though that even at a Latin Mass with free chapel veils to borrow, some women still refuse to cover. I don't really understand why... Anyway it was a little confusing, especially for dh, who has no familiarity with Latin (outside of the Agnus Dei and Sanctus). Since I've been doing Latin with dd1 for school I didn't get lost quite so easily 
I mentioned before having some issues with our parish, so we've been going to another one, I'm pretty sure we're going to go ahead and officially transfer. We did VBS with our old one and it just confirmed that we're not happy there (other than dd1 doesn't want to make new friends!) We haven't been there in a month and the priest didn't even talk to us or ask us how we've been.
Oh, and prayers for you and the baby, cagnew! Congratulations
