You're a convert, so how would you know everything? Fr Wathen wrote his book "The Great Sacrilege" in 1971. He was against the new mass 100% from the get-go. There were many other priests in the 70s and 80s that agreed with him. But most are now dead. Once Tradition merged into mainly the sspx and sspv in the 90s, the large majority of independent priests died out and were replaced by younger ones, most of whom were wimpy on the new mass. That's why most of you on here are wishy-washy on it.

If anyone wants to read Fr Wathen's book, for free, there is a website which has it posted:

It would have saved a tremendous amount of time if you had admitted from the beginning that you have taken Fr. Wathen's book from 1971 as your primary guide.
2. All churches where the "New Mass" is "celebrated" must be regarded as desecrated sanctuaries, in that "impious and sordid actions" have been committed there. (Canon 1172, Par. 1.3.). Therefore, the True Mass should not be offered in them, nor should anyone attend the True Mass offered in them. Further, other services which are held in such churches must be avoided if they have any connection with the "celebration" of the "New Mass." These include Benediction, Confirmations, marriages, funerals, etc. It would seem that the only acceptable reasons one might have for entering these churches at all is to attend a Baptism or go to Confession. At this statement, some may find themselves bestirred as they have not been from the beginning of this writing until now. They will say: "Now, this is too much! We may not even attend weddings and funerals in our own churches? Why, we have always been allowed to go to Protestant churches for such occasions!" My answer is: Eureka! Now you are catching on! It is permissible to go to Protestant churches for social reasons. But such services, no matter how greatly they differ fro the Catholic liturgy, or how greatly they resemble it, and no matter how dissident their doctrine, are not to be regarded as irreverent Mimicries of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Of set purpose, Protestant services are not and explicitly claim not to be the Eternal Sacrifice of the Mass. Perhaps before we are finished here, the meaning of the Revolution will have become clearer. For, truly, this is our situation: Though the "New Mass," those who treasure the Faith and who fear God have been virtually excluded from their own places of worship, just as Christ Himself, His Mother, and the angels and saints have been rudely cast out. Surely we should not be surprised. Did not our Divine Redeemer warn us: "The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you" (Jn. 15:20).
He unambiguously admits what several people have pointed out:
It is permissible to go to Protestant churches for social reasons.
His objection is that he thinks the NO mass is a special form of blasphemy that is beyond what any protestant has tried to do. While I respect Fr. Wathen, I think it is possible for someone of good will and knowledge to disagree with some of his assessments and practical conclusions (as almost all trad clergy do).
As has been pointed out the early protestants were Catholic Bishops and Priests who created rites designed to destroy particular Catholic doctrines while still claiming to be the Church of Christ. Other than the NO has succeeded in occupying the Vatican I don't see that much difference.
Notice that Fr. Wathen says it is permissible to witness a NO baptism and
even to go to confession in the NO. Do you agree with that?
In the exchanges on this subject you have fallen into hurling insults and questioning the sincerity of Faith of other members.
Does Tradition/Truth not matter to you?
I think it a reasonable assumption that most of the regular posters on CI are here because they take the Faith seriously. Your behavior towards them is reprehensible.
You need to study/pray more.
As I politely suggested before: "take your own counsel."
