Not too far from where I live there is an SSPX chapel. Can I go to one of their Masses sometime just to see what the Tridentine Latin Mass is like? I don’t plan to really participate, won’t receive Communion, and would go to my regular parish for Sunday Mass.
 
No, you should not attend an SSPX chapel because you want to witness a Tridentine Latin Mass. As stated in a previous Q&A, the only reason that I can foresee that would justify going to an SSPX chapel would be to attend a funeral for an SSPX follower. Lesser reasons do not appear to suffice. I recommend calling your diocese to find out if an indult Tridentine Latin Mass is available in your diocese. If it is not, then you will have to wait to experience such a Mass until one is being licitly offered in your area or in an area in which you are visiting.
