My minimalist, back-to-basics "Trad Checklist" for evaluating a chapel:
1. Is the priest properly ordained in the old rite (by a bishop who himself was ordained/consecrated in the old rite)?
2. Was the priest FORMED in a Traditional seminary, or at least has the priest fully converted to Tradition? Does the priest defend Tradition, and attack Modernism, Vatican II and the Conciliar religion sufficiently to teach/warn his congregation of their severe, grave dangers?
3. Does the priest say the pre-Vatican II Tridentine Mass in Latin, and only give/recommend the other Sacraments according to the Pre-Vatican II form as well?
If a chapel fails any of these 3 points, it's not a Traditional chapel and is not a safe place for us to park our families during the Crisis.
On the other hand, if it passes these 3 tests, it is SAFE ENOUGH TO TRUST WITH AT LEAST OUR SUNDAY MASS ATTENDANCE.
If you're looking for a place to donate your life to, swear lifetime allegiance to, buy T-Shirts for, etc. then you might want to add other points.
But I, for one, am not interested in THAT kind of Traditional Catholicism. I only want to be a simple Traditional Catholic, keeping the Faith during this Crisis in the Church. I don't need a team to root for, or a priest to sign over my Intellect and/or Free Will to.
