    • What are your thoughts on N.O. Catholic cemeteries?  Is there such a thing as a Traditional Catholic cemetery?  If I may ask, where would you be buried?

    • The closest I have seen to a trad cemetery is the novus ordo cemetery in my area where they offer the Traditional Latin Mass each Sunday.

    • Most Novus Ordo commentaries aren't that bad.  Unless the cemetery came into use in the late sixties or early seventies, it is consecrated ground (i.e., undoubtedly valid consecrated ground) which is what really matters.  Most of the cemeteries around here go back to the 1800's.

    Huh.  Meant to say "Most Novus Ordo cemeteries" aren't that bad.  By that I mean, at least around here (and I would gather the case is similar throughout the US) cemeteries under the auspice of the local Novus Ordo were originally Catholic cemeteries and were consecrated by an ordinary more than an hundred years ago.  Catholics are to be buried on consecrated ground, so this suffices.

    • Right on the independent chapel grounds there's a cemetery that Fr. Bolduc so wisely made provisions for. That's where I wanted to be buried, but if the chapel is turned over to the SSPX, I might have to make other arrangements.

    But let your speech be yea, yea: no, no: and that which is over and above these, is of evil.

    My Avatar is Fr. Hector Bolduc. He was a faithful parish priest in De Pere, WI,

    A very wise provision, indeed.

    If the world is still here in a hundred years and the Church hasn't been restored, people will need to start worrying about whether or not their "Catholic" cemetery is consecrated.  As the older cemeteries fill and newer ones pop up, whether or not they're consecrated (or even attempted to be) will be something to consider.

    Where is around here?  
    We are in the NYC area, but am doubtful will be able to be buried in the local cemetery even if we purchased a plot on it already.  
    Our local cemetery is over 100 years old so am not too concerned about consecration of the grounds.

    If the local NO/Indult new "parish priest" has already tried to withhold the Traditional Sacraments from us, which was available before the older pastor got sick and was around, we cannot be assured they will allow us to be buried there especially if they hear we are now going to SSPX or Independent chapels.

    They "denied" us Baptism by delaying for up to almost 3 months, we ended up going elsewhere.  
    First Communion was eventually denied unless we agreed to having it done in the NOM.  
    And Confirmation was not even an option.  
    And now the word is that the pastor is thinking of rescheduling the TLM and many of the attendees are upset because he is proposing a time that would be difficult for many to attend, he then suggested maybe they ought to find another home for their TLM.

    This is the kind of nonsense that goes on in the NO.  
    If they do not think the Sacraments they are confecting are real then how can you say they are valid?
    If they perceive the sacraments as a cultural rite of passage and not a sacrament then why go to them at all?
