Wrong. It's not just a name. The diosesan mass isn't Tridentine. It's a warped, mongrelized "mass" with Latin language and rites. The FSSP is offered by clerics whose very acts acknowledge that the Novus Ordo sacrilege is "Catholic" and "licit".
You haven't seen "mongrelized" until you attend a Latin NO Mass. (It's a unique hybridized version of Catholics trying to be Protestant.)

I asked you a question of theological import and something necessary for me to understand if I am to be Catholic in your eyes. Perhaps God is to use you to bring me into the truth which you speak of. What's a "real" tridentine mass? Help me to be Catholic.
The Tridentine Mass is the rite of Mass used in the Church from the Council of Trent(tridentine comes from the word Trent) in the 1500s up to Vatican 2. Although Trent only marks the standardisation of that rite, the rite has existed in some form or another since time immemorial. Trad Catholics are those who are for some reason or another opposed to Vatican 2 and the Novus Ordo rite(the vernacular masses you'll see in any local Catholic church), and so attend Tridentine masses.

Hi Dominic and welcome aboard!

I just want to drop in for a second and add my 2 pennies into the pond for your consideration and for the consideration of others in the same situation.......


Fr. Wathen:
People should know that attending the Indult Mass represents a very serious compromise of their faith. Before a bishop allows the Traditional Latin Mass in one of his Novus Ordo churches, according to papal direction, he exacts this commitment: Those to whom the Mass is made available must give a verbal acceptance to the Second Vatican Council and to the new mass. Whether they know it or not, everyone who attends the Indult Mass makes the same implicit commitment. In the days of the Rome persecutions, a Catholic could escape martyrdom if he would burn the tiniest pinch of incense before one of the countless Roman gods. The commitment which the pope and bishops require is that pinch of incense.

And I waste way too much time on the internet as you could probably tell. XD
Perhaps this is true, I also waste time on the internet. But in my mind, the time you spend on Cathinfo is not wasted.

I have 5 downvotes and four upvotes (already!). One could conclude I am disliked more than I am liked. So you are not alone with your downvotes (only people who have been here awhile can give you down and up votes; I cannot give you any, as I would for your courageous candidness).
Do not worry about up votes and down votes. Often down-votes come from misunderstanding and not from true dislike. Many of the greatest Saints were outcasts who were seemingly hated, even by the elect, until after the time of their deaths. Didn't Saint Benedict's monks who were below him try to poison him because they did not want to follow his rule?
