Every Sunday, I attend the 1962 Latin Mass at a church not to far from where I live. On Sunday, there is only one Latin Mass. The other scheduled services are novus ordo.
The Gospel at today's Palm Sunday Mass was the three participant novus ordo version with the Priest as Christ, one of the Servers as narrator and the other Server as everybody else. The inclusive language and modern verbiage are definite indications that this reading came from the current NABRE.
Isn't this episode a flagrant violation of canon law?
In all fairness, this is the first time I have witnessed any abuses at the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite at this church.
I have thought about joining SSPX, but I am afraid to distance myself from the Vatican.
Please share your thoughts on this issue.

Greetings, and welcome.
It sounds like they're doing a hybrid Mass, which is what many NeoCaths want. One assumes the risk of encountering such nonsense at diocesan Masses. NeoCaths are definitely not immune to the Vatican II lust for novelty, as this illustrates. Also note that that paragon of Neos, Mark Shea, recently fantasized about women becoming cardinals.
By the way, there's no such thing as an "Extraordinary Form." Reject this Orwellian terminology, no matter its source. It's the traditional Mass, the Mass of the Ages, or, less precisely, the Tridentine Mass. "Extraordinary Form" is meant to assure that it remains marginalized while, at the same time, sounding reverent.
Also, the SSPX is a priestly society, thus only priests may join the SSPX. At most laymen can be part of the Third Order.
As for being afraid to distance oneself from the Vatican, I'm afraid
not to distance myself from it.
