What are people's thoughts about persuading friends and family who attend the novus ordo or have left the church completely.
Although I haven't tried to persuade many people, it seems much harder to persuade NO goers than people who don't go at all. The problem with ex-Catholics is that though they might agree with you over what has happened they don't seem to be inclined to start going to mass again.
So far I have yet to persuade anyone, although I haven't taken out an ad in the newspaper yet. I see another problem there. I don't know how well thw local traditional parish could deal with a bunch of new people who are two generations removed from the faith. It almost seems better that people are coming one at a time, this way they assimilate with the folks who have been there a while. I could see new cliques forming if there was an influx.
