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.

Thank you. Well said.

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.

So let’s say a “bishop” Pfeiffer  were to set up a mass center next door to your house and there were no other mass centers within a reasonable distance, you are obligated to go to his? I think not.

I think so. We can go to him for confession and Mass. Even if he's not a bishop He is still a priest and the Mass *is* right next door to your house. We do not have to receive communion except once a year and can leave for the sermon. Even if you sit in the back and do your part you will have fulfilled your obligation.

So you are obligated to go to a Mass celebrated by a man who confers doubtful sacraments? He is a real priest, but a doubtful bishop. 
He allegedly allows his lay supporters to practice occult rites.
What about his preaching? Is it free from error?
Using this logic, we would be obliged to attend an indult mass, if it is celebrated by a valid priest.
This doesn't sound right to me at all.

Who sent him? Who gave him the authority to set up a chapel? The Church didn’t set up that chapel, he did by his own volition. You are only obliged to go to a mass that the Church Herself authorizes.
