Probably not the most ideal but I think my best bet would be to hopefully find a stable Novus Ordo girl and win her over to myself and tradition. I don't see any solutions otherwise. Oh well...

I wouldn't say that if I were you.

I would sign up for that sedevacantist singles site myself if I were a young single man. At least you know the girl will be spiritually correct!

A trad girl is worth her weight in diamonds!

Check and see if there is an SSPX chapel near you.

Agree.

Why would you seek to marry a NO and not a sedevacantist? That doesn't make any sense.

The real faith changes people. It is possible that after this NO girl converts, that she seeks a vocation or perhaps no longer wants to marry you.

And besides that, you've got two things going on. On the one hand you're trying to woo a female, on the other hand you're trying to cause a conversion.

I don't recall the missionaries marrying up with the people they converted. It doesn't usually work that way.

Is convert the correct word?

Many Catholics are simply unaware of traditionalism, and/or do not have easy access to the TLM.

Perhaps, but I can't think of a better word.

I was raised in Tradition and fell away, and reverted. When my wife converted, she converted straight to Tradition. I suppose we should ask former NO Catholics if they think they've converted to Tradition.

For many NO Catholics, it really will be a conversion. Whether or not it's applicable in a particular case is a different question, perhaps it wouldn't always be so.

While it's not the most common use of the word, it is correct. Convert simply means turning, in this case, toward God.

I was once a few days ahead of a N.O. silent retreat and one of the religious giving the retreat said he'd be praying for my conversion. The comment seemed a little off to me as well, but all he meant was that he'd be praying that I become more sincere in my Faith during the retreat.
