You should have stopped while you were ahead. Changing Church Rites is NOTHING like changing your gender.

Even "parish shopping" is a modern phenomena.


This reminds me of an amusing anecdote.  

When I first moved to Indianapolis, years before the internet or even cell phones (at least for me) and still captive in the Novus Ordo, I found that I actually lived exactly the same distance between two parishes in the archdiocese according to my car's odometer.  

Now, I knew that a Catholic was supposed to go to the parish in which he lives, so I called the archdiocesan number I found in the phone book and some woman answered the phone.  I explained that I just moved to Indianapolis and wanted to know which parish I lived in.  When I told her where I lived, she told me that it looked like I was close to two parishes.  I told her that I knew that but I wanted to know which parish I lived in.  She had absolutely no idea what I meant and couldn't understand my question.  

In the end, it turned out that one of the parishes was just easier to drive to so that was the one we registered in.  I never was able to find out what the parish boundaries really were  but I just looked on the internet and the archdiocese actually has a link that shows maps of each parish's boundary-lines.  

In turns out that we actually did register in the correct parish according to the Conciliar church.

I know a gentleman who moved (probably in the '80s) and proceeded to call the diocese and determine which parish he should attend. They told him that it didn't matter and he should just pick whichever he preferred. From that point forward, he stopped attending Mass.  :facepalm: (I suspect he wasn't a very regular attendee to begin with, but don't know as he's quite a bit older than I am.)

Sorry for (what's the opposite of de-railing) this thread, but I have some pertinent information that belongs in this thread, courtesy of "The Recusant".

3. Youngest SSPX Rector? - Fr. Griego in turn is being replaced as rector of
Holy Cross Seminary in Goulbourne, Australia by Fr. Daniel “Resistance to
What?” Themann, the priest who two years ago attempted a defence of Bishop
Fellay which is staggering for its boldness no less than for its dishonesty. One
of the first batch of priests to have undergone the new “le Roux” formation at
Winona, Fr. Themann was ordained a mere six years ago, in 2009. Since he
becomes SSPX seminary rector so young, we feel compelled to ask: is the situation so desperate,
the lack of priestly ‘potential rectors material’ so dire, or is he really such a prodigy,
that his meteoric career rise is really justified? Or is there another story behind this? His
“Resistance to What?” talk contains some very basic mistakes (concerning the nature of the
immutability of truth, for example, or the meaning of the word ‘prudence’) and yet future
generations of aspiring priests will be given over to him to be formed in his image and likeness.
And then there is also the fact that, as rector of a seminary, he will have a seat and a
vote at the next General Chapter in 2018 and at any Extraordinary Chapter before then.

At what time in Church history was it normal for a person to change their Rite like people change their underwear?

Do they change rite every day??
