  • BISHOP Trinh?

    As in the Vietnamese Benedictine monk?

    He is a bishop now???
    I think it the Fr. Trinh that converted from the Novus Ordo from back in 2006-2007 (when he was stationed in California)

  • Yes, I’m considering Texas. There are a lot of good points. It may be too hot for me, but not my wife. 😀
    Please, if you do move to TX, then BECOME a Texan, don't just live here. We the common working rural folk love our Texas and wanna keep it Consevative, and preferably red.

  • What is the best state to move to, from a traditional Catholic prospective, considering the following criteria?:

    1) Mass options
    Texas scores low in this area. Probably a C- or D+. Depends on where you live. Huge state, not a huge number of Trads. Have to gather Trads from 100 mile radius to scrape together a viable chapel for priest to say Mass. That having been said, there are SSPX, 1 Resistance, a couple Fr. Pfeiffer chapels, and a Sede chapel in Houston. Bp. Trinh used to say Mass near Austin (independent) don't know if he still does.
    I understand your views and allegiances, but this is an extra extremely narrow view of Masses available in TX. I can only speak for the areas I know:

     In Houston you have diocesan TLM at Annunciation in Downtown,  
    Prince of Peace in North H, St. Theresa's in Sugarland, Regina Cœli (FSSP) in North H (big community and homeschool coalition/group too), and other parishes with priests learning TLM and offering Low Mass during the week(end). 
    If I'm not mistaken, there is also a priest learning on the East side of Houston, but not 100% sure.

    Austin Carhedral has a booming and very large TLM community. As I understand, more of the younger priests in the outlying areas are also learning and offering to some degree. The bishop tried to disperse those who offer it, but it backfired and just caused more clergy to be interested due to spreading contact.a

    Rural Frelsburg (North of Columbus off I-10) has TLM,

    In Tyler there is +Strickland and he's very trad as far as I can tell. Offers TLM and is very public and orthodox with his preaching, actions, and condemnations. Never attended there or hear him preach personally.

    Almost all these pastors (I dont know about the Austin Cathedral) are very good homilists and various aren't afraid to preach about the current issues, secular & ecclesial. Many have done their best to accommodate those needing the Sacraments during shutdown as well and are very active in their apostolates.

    For those who are not scrupulous about the diocesan Masses, you actually have a rather good looking future ahead for increasing TLM options & locations in these parts of the state.
    Many people say "For the Honor and Glory of God!" but, what they should say is "For the Love, Glory and Honor of God". - Fr. Paul of Moll

    I live in the DFW area. I attend the Fraternity chapel in Irving (Dallas). It's the largest and oldest FSSP chapel in the country. There are also FSSP parishes in Ft. Worth now and Tyler (Thanks to bishop Strickland, of course). I know there's a TLM community in Waco as well. The SSPX has two mass centers available in North Central Texas, but, alas, no priory (which is weird, in my opinion for the 8th largest Metroplex in the US. They are in North Richland Hills(Ft. Worth) and Sanger (Denton area). I'm pretty sure there are resistance masses here, but its been quite a while since I've looked into that. I imagine Matt still hosts a priest in his neck of the woods in San Antonio (?). 

    With that said, having moved here to America from California 5 years ago, there are FAR fewer mass options here. It seemed that in Cali, you couldn't two or three cities without finding some sort of TLM. Of course, they were all provided by different priests; independents, diocesan (there was no FSSP when I left, but there is now), CMRI, etc.

    I work with a bunch of East Texas boys. When I first met a bunch of them, when asked why I moved here from California my standard answer was, "Well I saw a sign that said, 'Move to Texas and help make that red state blue!', and I came!" :cowboy:

  • I think we're past the point in terms of which state to live in, and have to think more in terms of which country to go too. Unless there's an active secession movement that gets going like now, the US (as a place for Traditional Catholics) is sunk in my view. I didn't make any predictions for the 2020's, but one would have been that you're going to see more Traditional Catholics look towards the expat option in the years ahead.
    Pray for me, always.

  • Does anyone know anything about Oklahoma? Is the Tulsa area scenic? Are there hills? How are the mass options? Are the people conservative and friendly?

    Why, because they didn’t do the “lockdown”? I am considering it, but there are few mass options.

  • Oklahoma doesn't want crypto liberals like you there. Stay out of Oklahoma, Missoura, & Arkansas, boy.
    Is this the very effeminate Croix, again? Of course it is, because whenever the girl/boy (tranny?) gets banned I suddenly get 50 plus downvotes. I’m starting to like your downvotes it makes me feel good and just confirms in my mind what you really are.  :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:
