Novus Ordo all the way. The last thing NO lay people ("digital missionaries" :facepalm:) should be doing is striving to gain more NO members. 
Some people can't get to the Truth without stepping stones.  Most of us converts came to Truth that way.

Am I the only one that looked in other directions before I became a True Catholic?

Telling is "Xavier Nishant" ... "Novus Ordo all the way", and needs re-banned again for the 50th time.  We don't need his spew on a Traditional forum.
Yeah, he could no longer control himself, back to his old NO ways.

The thing is that lay people were never permitted to preach or author theological writings or books - until V2. But now, as the OP shows, NO lay theologians are all over the place leading souls to all the wrong places, i.e. your "stepping stones."

Why does Xavier Nishant keep being allowed back on the forum?
First, you have no proof that I am Xavier. It's simply your opinion. Secondly, I am an Indult Traditional Catholic. Indult Traditional Catholicism is a permitted position here. I go to both NOMs and TLMs, including SSPX TLMs. I hold the Rippergerite (and I hold, original Lefebvrist) position that the (1) the TLM is objectively superior to the NOM, but (2) both forms are Valid and thus give Grace ex opere operato to Catholics who receive them with proper dispositions

Second, why are you being dishonest? You were claiming in the other thread that today's Vatican CONDEMNS Evangelism. Can you frankly admit you were wrong, with intellectual honesty, and basic decency? I doubt it, lol, but it would be a nice act of humility, and very edifying to us all. Try to say something else on topic. This is a proof that Roman Catholic Popes, Cardinals, Bishops, Priests are still encouraging Catholic Laity to Evangelize, thus refuting the Dimondite Heresies on this subject that you've obstinately clung to for some 20(?) years now. 

Read this, and try to understand the Church still teaches EENS (in the same sense as the Baltimore Catechism, and Pope Saint Pius X's Schism), and thus both you and Peter Dimond should come back to the Church. Maybe in 5 to 10 years, by when I may well be a Priest. If you Confess your sins to me, I will happily Absolve and Bless you. I hold no grudge against you, Mr. Ladislaus, but only wish the best for your Soul, as Lord Jesus commanded His Catholic Missionaries to do. See below that Catechism 846 to 848 clearly teaches EENS, thus there is no reason for Schism.

""Outside the Church there is no salvation" 
 846 "How are we to understand this affirmation, often repeated by the Church Fathers?335 Re-formulated positively, it means that all salvation comes from Christ the Head through the Church which is his Body:Basing itself on Scripture and Tradition, the Council teaches that the Church, a pilgrim now on earth, is necessary for salvation: the one Christ is the mediator and the way of salvation; he is present to us in his body which is the Church. He himself explicitly asserted the necessity of faith and Baptism, and thereby affirmed at the same time the necessity of the Church which men enter through Baptism as through a door. Hence they could not be saved who, knowing that the Catholic Church was founded as necessary by God through Christ, would refuse either to enter it or to remain in it.336

847: "This affirmation is not aimed at those who, through no fault of their own, do not know Christ and his Church:Those who, through no fault of their own, do not know the Gospel of Christ or his Church, but who nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart, and, moved by grace, try in their actions to do his will as they know it through the dictates of their conscience — those too may achieve eternal salvation.337"

848 "Although in ways known to himself God can lead those who, through no fault of their own, are ignorant of the Gospel, to that faith without which it is impossible to please him, the Church still has the obligation and also the sacred right to evangelize all men."

Stubborn, one question for you: (1) how many R&R Trads do you think there were in the world in the 1960s, when you were young? 10,000??? (2) How many do you think there are today? 1 Million more???

There will soon be more Catholics in Africa alone (who pray the Rosary and adore/worship the Eucharist) than there were Catholics in the entire world in 1950. This one fact alone shows that Catholic Evangelism has not, in fact, stopped. The mainstream Church evangelizes at least as much as Rad-Trads do (I'm an Indult Trad, sometimes called "Glad-Trads", by FSSP Catholics etc), the facts and statistics that docuмent it are absolutely incontrovertible.

Here is the Catholic Herald docuмent these facts: "It is strange then to realise that this Church – which is already, by far, the largest religious institution on the planet – is in fact enjoying global growth on an unprecedented scale. In 1950, the world’s Catholic population was 437 million, a figure that grew to 650 million by 1970, and to around 1.2 billion today. Put another way, Catholic numbers have doubled since 1970, and that change has occurred during all the recent controversies and crises within the Church, all the debates following Vatican II and all the claims about the rise of secularism.

Nor does the rate of growth show any sign of diminishing. By 2050, a conservative estimate suggests there should be at least 1.6 billion Catholics." https://thecatholicherald.com/article/catholicisms-incredible-growth-story This is another reason FSSP Trads see no reason to break from Rome. We will defend and support the Rights of Tradition, and attend TLMs (including SSPX TLMs) but do so from within full communion with Rome.
