Long bio
Louis Massett was born in Bridgeport, New York, and raised from birth in the Society of St. Pius X, the traditionalist order founded by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre.

He left the movement in his early twenties and has watched it from the outside for thirty years since. Traddyland: Memoir of a Radical Traditional Catholic, published in June 2026 in English and Spanish, is the first book-length account of growing up inside the SSPX. It has been covered by Newsweek, National Catholic Reporter, UnHerd, and El Español. Massett lives in central New York.
