Thanks for the advice. I would start another discussion about this, but quite frankly, I don't know how :).

Could I ask why it is so important to keep away from Orthodox. I don't know much about this, but I figured that the Church recognized that the Orthodox had valid sacraments before we lost our Pope.

Would the only reason to stay away from them be the sermon. I may be oversimplifying this, but it seems to me that as long as it is a valid mass with valid sacraments there would be no problem going to it, since there is so much confusion going around anyway. I've never been to an Orthodox Mass, and it has been years since I've been to any Mass, but from what I understand, they are basically the same. Correct me if I am wrong... as I said, I have no credibility and very limited knowledge on this topic.

If SSPX or sede church were closer, I would not question it at all. However, I am by no means a rich guy, and it would be difficult for me to pay for a two hour round trip of gas every Sunday. If there is a problem going to Orthodox, then I will 100% go to SSPX, but if I would be traveling over an hour away just for a sermon, I would rather just let my mind wander during an Orthodox sermon and then just read up on the works of the saints.
Good idea to start a thread, Jimmy.
Click on HOME
then scroll down to the apprpriate section, Crisis in the Church.
Then click on NEW TOPIC.
In Subject box type your heading, eg, Why not be Orthodox?
then Type or copy and paste what you wrote here.

God bless you for your honesty and humility.

Maybe someone here knows another option for Holy Mass if they knew you location.

Hi josefamendez,

thank you for your advice. I will try to go to SSPX mass once a month, I want to attend First Saturday devotion. Only place that is possible is that SSPX chapel. All other Novus Ordo priests don't offer it as a reparation for Our Lady of Fatima. 
Gas prices also are record high and I can't afford to go often as I should or would go in normal circuмstances. 
I know that Bugnini was a freemason that worked with protestants to create Novus Ordo mass, but I there have been scientifically proven Euchristic miracles in Novus Ordo mass, twice in Poland in last 15 years or so. That puzzles me so much, and I think maybe bishop Williamson is correct. God doesn't abondon his sheep (disciples) and still is present after a valid consecration.
But in Croatian language it's used word "for all (za sve)" and not "for many (za mnoge)" in consecration prayer for Blood of Jesus. Does that mean that consecration is invalid?

Hi Josip- this is my advice. Take it for what it's worth. Go to the SSPX Mass as often as is possible. 100 km is a lot but not impossible at least once a month. Make an appointment with the SSPX priest for general advice on your situation. Read your missal for Sunday Masses that you are not able to attend, Make Spiritual communions and keep the Lord's day Holy as best you can. IMHO, the Novus Ordo does not fulfill the Sunday obligation as it is a destroyer of the faith. God bless you-pray your Rosary every day and our Lady will make this work for you!

Hello to everyone!

I am Josip (eng. Joseph) Rakušić from Croatia, 30 years old, married for 7 years with no children (I have problems with infertility). I live in a small town where I work in a family business.
Just a few kilometres from here is a border with Bosnia and Herzegovina. I used to go with my parents to Medjugorje.
For 15 years I have been researching "consipiracy theories", but just 4-5 years ago I became aware of the whole crysis in the Church, modernism, Vatian 2, etc. I can only attend Novus Ordo mass, because nearest Latin Mass offered by SSPX priest is more than 100 km away. I stopped going to Novus Ordo mass for a few weeks, but I'm scared if I'm committing mortal sin against 3rd God's commandment. I only watched live TLM masses on Youtube for now.
I need a helpful advice, you could send me a private message.
Thank you for this forum, I enjoy reading some discussions. God bless you all!
Welcome Josip, and God bless you as well.

I've been passively reading from this site for some time now, and it has been helping in my 'reversion' to the Faith. I've always been a Catholic, but I've only recently started actually taking my religion seriously. I have a question that I have been thinking about for a while, but since I am not that well spoken about theology I don't want to just rely on my own view.

What kind of Church should I go to? I have not been to a Church since my parents became sedevacantist when I was 13, and I would like to receive the sacraments (mainly penance). I don't have any sedevacantist priests in my area, just an SSPX chapel and a Eastern Orthodox chapel. The SSPX chapel is about an hour away from me, so it would be much more convenient for me to go to the Eastern Orthodox.

Could you guys give me your two sense on which Church I should go to and why. It seems to me that they are both in schism, but the Eastern Orthodox church is the only one that was officially declared schismatic. Do the Eastern Orthodox still have valid sacraments? Would it be a sin to go to a schismatic Church if it is the only option?
Welcome Jimmy.  I vaguely recall being told as a child that as a last resort, I could receive communion at an eastern orthodox church.  As an adult though, I imagine the nun meant an eastern rite church such as Byzantine or Marionite.  I'd go with the SSPX chapel. God bless you.

Salutations everyone!
I go by the Online Alias of Henri and I'm currently studying in a well known Catholic Academic institution in the UK.
I know looking at the threads that I'm probably going to be on the younger side on here but I wish to spend my time educating myself on the faith and making online Traditional Peers.
In the "Catholic Academic institution" I study at we have the 1962 Missal three times a week, so I have regular Liturgies during Term Time(I am a regular Altar Server aswell). While on Breaks or Term Holidays I try to take the Bus to the SSPX or Indults nearest to me however some days it can be a struggle, especially waking up at 6:30 am Bus to get to my nearest SSPX.
Funnily enough I have been discouraged in the past to not bother with Cathinfo however I'll make up my own judgement :laugh1: 
Once again, I'll look forward to read more threads and contributing.
God Bless!
