I am Catholic and attend a SSPX chapel. I love the tradition of the Catholic Church and I feel very at home in my church. I feel like everything is right with the world when I am in my church. During the week I just can’t wait to get back to Mass on Sunday. When I am sitting in a dark church on Christmas eve with my family listening to the choir sing Christmas songs I feel warm all over, this just about brings tears of joy to my eyes. I know that sounds Gorky but I just don’t care. 😉
What is SSPX?
 
Okay, what is the Ordinary?
merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ordinary

The Ordinary is the cleric who is charge of a particular jurisdiction. In a diocese, it would be the bishop. In an abbey, it would be the Abbot (insert Hey Abbot! joke here).

The Ordinary can also refer to the everyday form of the Mass that is preformed at 99% of catholic churchs in America, the Mass as reformed and changed after Vatican II. This is contrasted with the “Extraordinary Form” of the Mass, which is the Mass as it was before Vatican II (I think - I don’t know much about it).

I don’t attend SSPX but everything else you said is exactly how I feel in my Catholic Church. I can hardly wait for Sundays. I love the beauty of my Church, the beauty of the rituals, the sacraments, singing, the Priest intoning the prayers, my fellow Catholics, - all feels extremely right and good to me. I always feels so happy after Mass, full of songs and peace. Thank God for the Catholic Church!
