| Domitilla said: | I am certainly no theologian; however, the NO Mass is man-centered; it is referred to as a "sacred meal" rather than the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Since it could certainly be a "defective Mass that tends to destroy the faith", it could be construed as false worship which is a sin against the First Commandment. A Roman Catholic is on much safer ground to worship at the Tridentine Holy Mass.
In the words of St. Alphonsus de Ligori: "We have but one soul to save; one God to love and serve; one eternity to expect. Death will come soon, judgement will follow; and then, Heaven or Hell forever." |
I certainly wouldn't recommend anybody to attend the Novus Ordo. There are a few people that I'm praying for that they will jump out of the Novus Ordo camp.
I realise a day might arise where we are only left with the rosary and missal and no access to a valid Mass. Priests like Fr Pfeiffer need our prayers and support.

If my parish priest were to begin offering the Traditional Mass I wouldn't attend it though wouldn't have an objection meeting the priest. Their heart might be in the right place and be good on other issues but such priests would need to quit the Novus Ordo and all that goes with it.
There is one young Diocesan priest in Ireland. He would be regarded as conservative. He offers the 'extra ordinary form' every now and then. He believes in Medjugorje. Some priests in Ireland are changing their attitude towards the SSPX and Tradition.
There is very little interest in the Traditional Mass and Tradition in Ireland. Little pockets of support here and there.
Diocesan priests learning to offer the true Mass are often honey traps to weaken resistance. Father might say the 'Old Mass' on Sunday but says a 'Taize Mass' on a Thursday night.

An excellent book and with 'An Open Letter to Confused Catholics' should be included in the starter pack when you set out to "tradify" a newbie.
