Sspx parishes1/31/2024 The high mass is packed and you need to show up early to find seating. When I started attending full time in early 2013 the low mass had about two or three dozen people attending. I attend the Low Mass at 7:15 am on Sunday. It would be so nice to grow our community so that we could have more influence. If you attend a Byzantine Catholic Church you could still try to request a TLM from a local priest or bishop. At this point, they can start to build the community.Īlso, both steps can be done together. If they have requests from enough people they will be have no choice but to request a local priest to say the TLM. A lot of young priests say the TLM in private. The second option is to keep asking your local priest to say the TLM. I attend a Byzantine Catholic church with my mom when I visit my hometown. There are many Byzantine Catholic churches in Canada. My entire maternal family is Byzantine Catholic as they are Ukrainian. Eastern liturgies are just as beautiful and ancient as the TLM. In Canada or even America this shouldn’t be a problem. The first is to seek out an Eastern Rite Church. I couldn’t imagine not having a TLM to attend every Sunday. This is unfortunate and I feel the pain of these people. What if you live in an area where the only TLM is an SSPX chapel. I know the big question that’s coming up. I pray that the SSPX gets in with a personal prelature status similar to Opus Dei. The more Catholics within the institution of the Church who are traditional, the more traditional vocations we will have. I would ask my fellow Catholics to attend their local diocesan Latin mass and help grow the community. Imagine if some of their priests or bishops were delegates at the recent Amazon Synod in Rome. If they were in full communion, they’d be able to influence the church in the country they’re in. Their priests and bishops don’t have any influence in the church either. The problem is, that they have no influence in the Church. There are many holy and devout Catholics who attend these chapels. His book They Have Uncrowned Him is a brilliant work against modernism. I also want to say that I admire much of the writings of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre. Mountains of books have been written on both sides and I don’t want to get into that here. There are many questions as to whether their sacraments are valid or licit. I’ve never gone to a sedevacantist mass and I never will. I’ve also gone to masses offered by the Resistance which is a breakaway group from the SSPX because they thought they were too liberal. I remember one time it was the Feast of the Immaculate Conception and my Church wasn’t having a mass and I really wanted to go so I went to the SSPX chapel. Should faithful Catholics attend SSPX chapels? I will admit that I’ve been to the local SSPX chapel, though I can count the number of times on one hand. I try to avoid getting into traditionalist issues on this blog because they normally involve a lot of drama.
