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.

Isn't there a Traditional monastery in or near Cullman?

What kind of a monastery are you going to? Trappist? Cistercian? Camaldolese?

I have the opportunity to go on a retreat at a monastery later this month, and am wondering what people have to say about it. It is a novus ordo monastery without the TLM. I went to a retreat before and enjoyed it, and found it to be a spiritual help, and though the novus ordo monasteries are without TLM the monks i met last time were very orthodox. Do you think I ought to go?

How did this become a pilgrimage? Did I miss something? You do know the difference between a retreat and a pilgrimage I hope crossbro. If you don't, you only need to ask.

Anyway, let's know how you go, seeing you seem determined to reject all the wisdom offered here.

Ecclesiasticus 21:18

A man of sense will praise every wise word he shall hear, and will apply it to himself: the luxurious man hath heard it, and it shall displease him, and he will cast it behind his back.

TCat is too busy teaching to slow down and actually learn anything. Sedevacantist who thinks the NO is valid. Also thinks the NO is sacrilegious but doesn't have any qualms about going anyway.
