Are you sure that going to Mass is a man-made rule?
Man-made in the sense that it is a law established by the Church so it is Church Law, not Divine Law. Keeping the Sabbath Day holy is Divine Law.

So it's just a matter of a disciplinary rule, and nothing else?

Yes, except this disciplinary rule has a mortal sin attached to it.

In my opinion, we cannot say that this is a "disciplinary rule, and nothing else".

It is more like an extension of the third commandment.

The five commandments of the Church are more than disciplinary rules. They are more like the minimum you need to do in order to have a spiritual life.

Yes, well put. Either way, if there is a Mass we can get to within a reasonable distance, then we are obligated under pain of mortal sin to go to it. This applies to the True Mass, not the new jazz.
