I live within four miles of a diocesan TLM, but drive significantly further every Sunday to go to an independent non-sedevacantist chapel instead.
I don’t drive further to the independent chapel because I am worried that I would lose the faith at the indult chapel. I think that I could go to the indult chapel without losing the faith. I drive to the independent chapel because when there are dogmas of the faith that are being almost universally undermined, the obligation to profess the faith
publicly increases. Religion is not merely a private affair. Whether I could keep the faith or not at a diocesan chapel is completely irrelevant. Having the virtue of faith will profit a man nothing if he doesn’t profess the faith publicly when circuмstances oblige him to do so. No indult association publicly professes this dogma:
If anyone says that the received and approved rites of the Catholic Church, accustomed to be used in the administration of the sacraments, may be despised or omitted by the ministers without sin and at their pleasure, or may be changed by any pastor of the churches, whomsoever, to other new ones, let him be anathema.
Council of Trent, Session VII, On the Sacraments, Canon 13
The crimes of Pope Francis and the bishops are public. The heresies they teach in their sermons and in their writings, the heresies they promote by their actions, and the widespread grave moral evils they give their approval of by their omissions, all put the spiritual welfare of millions of souls in danger. The faith needs to be publicly professed for the sake of the countless souls that have been scandalized by the false doctrines of the Novus Ordo bishops and priests. The laymen in the Novus Ordo are, for the most part, blind followers of the blind. They are on the way to eternal damnation. Their only chance of salvation is to come across traditional Catholics who have the charity to tell them the truth. The diocesan TLM’s are permitted to exist on the condition that the diocesan priests do not publicly resist the heresies of the Novus Ordo church. They breed a spirit of compromise, cowardice, and indifference.
Hear Pope St. Felix III
Not to oppose error, is to approve it, and not to defend truth is to suppress it, and indeed to neglect to confound evil men, when we can do it, is no less a sin than to encourage them.
