hmmm :confused: ... food for thought.  Since technically no Traditional chapel has canonical recognition and authorization, does this mean Trad Catholics are not technically / legally obliged to assist at those Masses on Sundays?
This seems to be a position that leads to home-aloneism.

If we are not obligated, then why not be a home-aloner?

Because we get many graces from receiving the sacraments. Just because we aren’t obliged to assist doesn’t necessarily mean we shouldn’t attend mass any chance we get.

Home aloners believe that you SHOULDN’T assist at any mass. I’ve held this position for close to 30 years and never fell into home aloneism.

Yes, but I don’t like to spread this thought too openly as I don’t want to dissuade anyone from attending mass and receiving the sacraments. In any event, it is a truth that none of these mass centers technically satisfy our obligation to assist at Sunday mass.

As with most things related to Traditional Catholicism, there are more questions than answers.

In the end, it is up to each individual to decide if he should attend this or that mass or none at all.

Some people believe that the indult is ok. Some people think that the SSPX is ok. Some people think that Una cuм masses are mortal sin. And so on.

Let's pray that God will be merciful with everyone. I believe that He will not punish people of any (Tradionalist) position, if they are sincere about what they are doing.
