Soulguard, In honesty I'd go to the retreat. Monasteries are relatively safe from the full spirit of the robber council. The Purpose of Monasteries is prayer and giving glory to god through a contemplative lifestyle. If it can make your soul better go. The SSPX is affiliated with a group of Benedictines in Nevada. Avoid tricky theological matters.

I went to a NO Monastery on a retreat once. It was Benedictine. At the consecration, everyone gathered around the altar (even the lay brothers and lay visitors) and raised our hands, apparently concelebrating. We went to confession as well, and the monk-confessor told me that is was 'virtually impossible' to commit a mortal sin.

This was not so many years ago.

In my old diocese, the Franciscan monastery had a horrible reputation for sodomy. Everyone in the diocese knew it was a homo-palace.

Probably the worst example was San Anselmo when Rembert Weakland was rector. The sheer number of stories that circulate about the place is amazing, and the fact that Weakland eventually exposed himself as a ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ and financial criminal rather removes any basis for disbelieving them.

So yeah....go to that NO monastery...they're harmless. NOT!

If you are so interested in visiting and possibly joining a monastery, why not look into the Resistance ones?

The Resistance only has one monastery as far as I know, and they speak spanish.
It is not reasonable to expect me to learn spanish. I hate that language.

???

Lot of similarities between Spanish and Latin. Certainly much more than English and Latin. What do you think of Latin?

C'mear, dont be trolling me just because I said I might go on a pilgrimage. Spanish is nothing like Latin, and you know that. Doesnt change the fact that I hate spanish, and Im not learning spanish, which is a disgusting language, just because some resistance monastery speaks only spanish. They ought to speak english, but then again they are made of the rejects of the rejects as +williamson says.
I find it interesting that people tell me to join a Resistance group and then tell me not to go to the novus ordo. Your heretic of a pope is mentioned in both masses is he not? So dont get superior with me. If you can compromise than so can I.

Pilgrimage? LM_O

Pilgrimaging into conciliardom...

I agree with you that R&R has its problems. But a sede thinking the NO is valid and thinking of "pilgimaging" into a conciliarist monastery is flat out schizophrenic.

And another thing--I only had 2 years of high school Spanish. But I am well aware of the similarities with Latin. I think you have a lot of learning to do. I thought Soulguard was of a better temperament for learning than TCat was. But he, too, of late wants to teach rather than learn and isn't very receptive of the responses he doesn't like to questions that he asks.

You learn something new every day.
SG thinks that the NO is valid but sacrilegious.

A valid sacrilege. Isn't that an oxymoron?

Why would anyone go to a sacrilege? A valid sacrilege is even worse.

Before I became a trad, I went to a NO Monastery in Cullman, Alabama. For a NO Monastery they were pretty orthodox. They used a lot of Latin in the Mass although they do have a table instead of an Altar...but it was a NO place after all.

Would I go there now? Probably not. In fact I can say no. There is a Franciscan Monastery near where I live that is NO but very orthodox. They don't allow people to receive Communion in the paws and they use a paten during Communion. One of the priests there has filled in for our Latin Mass priest and he is very orthodox. I do and have gone there for confession and would do so again. If for some reason the Bishop ever ended our Latin Mass (God forbid!) I would probably go there for Mass...but I would make every attempt to find another Latin Mass first.
