Vocation for a traditional catholic

[BrendanD]

I would think that with Summorum Pontificum and the spread of the TLM, a discerning young man could pretty much licitly choose to say one form or the other, or both. At our parish, it’s all TLM. Baptisms are traditional, weddings, confirmation, etc. I don’t get why exclusively going to it would be a sin or something to question someone’s piety about. It’s not like exclusively going to the Novus Ordo and never trying the traditional Mass is a sin or something to be questioned. The argument has to at least cut both ways?

I’m with you Unfortunately, some people think priests can’t choose the TLM exclusively if they want to.

I was reffering to the name of the forum, it seems almost as if when you state a traditional point of view you’re suddenly inundated with posters who attack it.

eelpis, I didn’t know you were traditional. I thought you were a non-traditional who was making fun of the name of Gregorian rite. Someone corrected me above and I apologized. So now I apologize to you. Sorry. I was confused.

Pax Christi tecum.

Apology accepted. I call myself Catholic and Christian and not traditionalist. I prefer the EF but I attend the NO on weekdays and when the TLM is not available.
I think the TLM is superior and I hope the Church will restore the TLM and phase-out the NO eventually.

Yep I’m in the same boat as you my brother. I am Catholic and use the term traditionalist only to denote that I prefer the TLM and that I hold to traditional Catholic teaching. It’s more to avoid confusion lol. I also hope and pray for the day when we have only the traditional liturgy again…I’m sure, sadly, that makes some upset.

Thank you for accepting my apology.

Pax Christi tecum.

I’m noticing among traditionals a trend of attending the NO 5 days a week and the TLM once.

And yet somehow we hate the NO, reject it, despise any Eucharist that comes out of it, and are somehow unfit for a priestly vocation?

Kinda strange, isn’t it?

The Church does NOT need yet another difficult priest! Why would you even consider being a priest if you don’t want to celebrate the Ordinary Form of the Mass?

Well, then, I guess you just said that the Church does not need the Fraternity of St. Peter, the Institute of Christ the King, the Transalpine Redemptorists, the whole Diocese of Campos, Brazil, etc. , beacuse these priests, and the Bishop, WILL NOT celebrate the OF, and the Holy Father knows this and is O.K. with it. Are you?

Among the older people I think there is a trend that says that all changes brought about after VII were good and the Church prior to the reforms was just not good enough. Because in their formative younger years, when the changes happened, that’s what they heard from the pulpit and from priests . We younger people don’t have these prejudices, that’s why we can see with more open eyes the good and the bad things brought about in todays Church.

It’s all relative.
I’m 54 and have, at times felt quite the opposite. I thought the “older people” preferred the Church as it was before the 1960’s, while you “younger people” preferred the New Mass.

Our Traditional Community includes members who, (not including those who are brought to Mass by their parents), range in age from young teens who car-pool to Mass, up to and including the elderly who are brought to Mass by their married children and grandchildren.
Both my former Diocesan parishes consisted of the same cross section.

The only visual difference between the “Traditional” and Diocesan groups that I have personally been a member of, are the manner of dress and the reverence shown for the Mass.

By the way, in reference to the original post,…Have you been in contact with the FSSP? As a member of the Confraternity of Saint Peter, I’ll include you in my prayers for the FSSP.

I forget what the age requirement is for them. 30? I’m going to be 31 in November

Pax Christi tecum.
