    It made sense all along, I just wanted to put a bug in your ear, so to speak, so that you could use the correct spelling going forward.  When you say "Novus Ordo", any traditionalist will immediately know what you mean.
    Haha alright spelling error. Fair enough! Latin is definitely not my strong suit I wouldn’t be surprised if I screwed up my icon.

    • I would definitely contact Our Lady of Lourdes mission in Soddy-Daisy. That is a considerably shorter drive than the Franklin chapel

    I would also check out the Byzantine Church to see how it is. If it's not modernist, go to the Liturgy there when you can't go to either of the Latin Masses

    • I voted "Other". CMRI - Hazel Green, AL /St. Philomena, or Lacey's Springs, AL / St. Benedict's A trip to Cincy (Cincinnati), known as"Sede Central" is another option.

    Our Lord has people out there in Tennessee a lot like you, owning two old cars, a coonhound, and a bunch of tools in a cheap rent dwelling. 

    Please.  Tennessee has four fairly good-sized cities (Memphis, Nashville, Knoxville, and Chattanooga) as well as several smaller ones such as Clarksville, Johnson City, Jackson, and others.  It's not all "up the head of a holler".

    • TN being a long state, is the Franklin chapel really 2 hours away, or 3 with the time zone change? There's a lot of graces gained for every mile, every step taken, every difficulty endured to get to Mass, not that you should seek making getting to mass unnecessarily difficult for the sake of difficulty. I'd still go 3 hours.

     but I went nearly three years without Mass, by myself, some of that time without even internet.) 
    How did that happen, if you don't mind my asking? You couldn't travel to mass even a couple times per year?

    According to tradition, you need permission from a bishop to change rites on a case by case situation.
    (As an aside you weren't even allowed to make your Easter duty outside your home parish.)
    Anyway, trads today seem to think they aren't bound by the pre Vat II rules and regulations.  So are they just cherry picking what they agree with?  That's not tradition.
    The archbishop when he formed the SSPX out of necessity changed nothing.

    Is the Byzantine rite in union with Rome? 
    Do you know the rite well enough that you'd recognize that it's been/being changed/modernized?

    Three people I know in three different states/provinces all say it's no better than the Novus Ordo with regard to the irreverence of the people at Mass and of course they've no idea if things have changed from the traditional to the modern...and then there's the language.  Just because the priest looks devout while offering Mass...so do a lot of Novus Ordo priests.

    Catholicism has a number of valid rites.  You belong to one of them.
    I was taught the same.
