Deo:

Thanks. I believe one of the Indult Masses is held the first Sunday of the month, so I’m hoping I can get to that one. I’m also hoping it’s the one closest to me. The other one is nearly 50 miles away, but is a lovely Sunday morning drive.

But, 50 miles in the other direction is a Tridentine Mass every Sunday. That’s at the parish near my job, where I attend Mass during the week. So, if I can muster up the desire to actually come into Manhattan on a day where I don’t have to work, then I will come in. I will try to do that soon anyway so I can come in and see some religious paintings at the Met…
 
Fifty miles is a bit of a drive - I drive 30 minutes on a route I would never drive during workdays but on Sunday it’s not that bad.
 
I attend the Novus Ordo Mass. In the past have attended a Charismatic Masses and look forward to attending an Eastern Rite Liturgy someday.🙂

Yeah, it is. If I head 50 miles to the parish east of me, it’s a beautiful drive. If I head 50 miles west of me to the parish near my job, it’s not so pretty, but I can take a train or drive in.
 
One thing that has surprised me about this poll so far is that no one admits to going to SSPX Masses and yet I have seen them post that they do in the body of some posts.
 
I voted other. Though I very occasionally visit at the Tridentine indult Mass and at Divine Liturgy in the Ukrainian Catholic parish, I mostly attend the Normative Mass, in English, not in a charismatic covenant community.

I attend the Mass of all times, the rite St. Theresa of Avila, St. Ignatius, Don Bosco attended, etc. THE Tridentine Latin Mass. Of course, this is on SUNDAYS. On the weekdays, I could only attend the Novus Ordo in Vernacular because it is the only one offered around here on weekdays. Last Sunday I did attend a SUNDAY SSPX Tridentine Latin Mass, though of course, I beleive the Novus Ordo is valid, and cannot understand why anyone would say otherwise. I agree with all the councils, including the actual documents of Vatican II, which I believe IF followed at the foot of the letter, would be great. I especially like Sacrosanctum Concillium, Lumen Gentium, and the Decree on Priestly Training.
I don't agree with any group who says the NO Mass is Invalid, etc, etc. I don't plan to attend another SSPX Mass, UNLESS the Tridentine INDULT Mass is removed revoked in this Archdiocese. If it is, I WILL make the SSPX Mass my regular every Sunday liturgy.
 
misericordie:

SSPX is in schism with Rome. I wouldn’t advise going to one of their Masses. You are better off with the N.O. should the Indult Tridentine cease to be available to you on a regular basis.
 
Dear REdkim -

I am sure you had good intentions in your caution but, as I said at the beginning of this thread
This thread is not started for yet another discussion of one Mass versus the Other or why one is better than the other, etc. Please don’t do that

Lets try not to get into a discussion about the SSPX, etc. here - plenty of other threads about that and I know Miseracordae knows they are in schism. What I don’t want is this to deteriorate into another “yes they are, no they are not” thread.

Thanks
 
I attend only the tridentine mass - mostly the sspx masses or the indult masses. Why not only the indult? - because there are not nearly as many indult masses as sspx chapels saying the latin mass and I travel around a lot - but my regular parish is a sspx parish - because it is reasonably close to home when I’m at home. The sspx mases are not only very devout but are licit and fully acceptable to the Vatican.
 
I have replied to you in a private message as I am trying very hard to avoid discussion about the validity or licity of SSPX Mass in this thread. Thank you - there are many other threads in the Liturgy section where this can be discussed.

Well now that is amasing information. The Vatican, my Bishop and other Bishops say it is not. They quote the Vatican. :rolleyes:
 
I guess I can’t stop this no matter how hard I try.

so I might as well jump in

THE SSPX MASSES ARE VALID BUT NOT LICIT

SSPX PRIESTS ARE VALIDLY ORDAINED BUT NOT IN COMMUNION WITH ROME

THE SSPX ARE IN SCHISM BECAUSE THE POPE SAYS SO EVEN THOUGH THEY SAY THEY ARE NOT

ROME DOES NOT CONSIDER SSPX MASSES FULLY ACCEPTABLE

SSPX PRIESTS HAVE NO FACULTIES IN ANY DIOCESE AND THEREFORE CANNOT GIVE VALID ABSOLUTION

END OF DISCUSSION…

Where you go to Mass is your choice but don’t come to a legitimate Catholic Forum and make statements about the SSPX that are misleading to Catholics about the legitimacy of the SSPX - it is not right
 
I have attended a Charismatic Mass. I am not against the Charismatic movement, but it is not for me. I prefer the order and mysticism of the Tridentine mass. When I hear the Latin Chants, I feel that I left Earth and have entered Heaven. To me, Latin is speaking in tounges, it is a language that people seldom understand, but when you do, everything is so clear. I remember at the Charismatic Mass I attended people tried to get me to hold my hands up in the air. I told them after mass, that I did not do it because the Lord of Glory was on the altar, I had to get on my knees and tremble, just like I do at the Tridentine Mass. If people are brought closer to God by the Charismatic movement, that’s fine, it’s just not for me, I left the Charismatic Mass feeling like I never even went to a mass. It is also unfortunate that Liturgical abuses have been associated with the Charismatic Movement, not all Charismatics are the same, there are some that are following the GIRM. I have gone through many hard times because I am not a Charismatic but I’m not a SSPX either. I am in the middle and there seems to be no space for me.
 
I must say that I feel sorry for all those Byzantine Catholics out there because they have a great liturgy but I bet less than 1% of the Catholics I know are even aware of its existence. When I was in Prague last October I took my friends to the Byzantine Catholic church (we were looking for a Latin Rite church, but after nearly being taken in by a Hussite church, they were willing to let me lead them to the East). I spent much of the day and weeks afterwards convincing them that we had been at a Catholic liturgy - not Orthodox. Although I was raised on the N.O., I love the Divine Liturgy because of its sense of the sacred. I’m hoping to start attending an indult Mass when I return to school in the fall, but it will be a 40 min drive for a 7 am Mass, and I’ve never been able to get up in the mornings. While I’ve only ever been to one Tridentine Mass, the same impression remains as that of the Divine Liturgy: I can’t understand it, but it’s a much more effective means of prayer because it is constantly focusing you on the holy and otherworldly.
