Any Trads, left here?

[Virgil the Roman]

Are there any Traditionalist Catholics, left here in OBOB, besides myself. (Trad, as in those who go to/want to go to the Traditional Latin Mass)? Anywho, I might as well give my mind about some things. I'm debating on whether or not to buy a Traditional Latin Mass missal,
Here's a Link: "The New Marian Missal"

Any thoughts or opinions, or will I be ignored or ragged on for like the TLM? Besides, I'm trying to purchase this in preparation for my first TLM, So it's not like I don't experience the NO. I'm trying to get directions for my nearest TLM, however that'll take lots of prayer and effort, as because I SUCK at navigation with directions!

I mean, if you want to talk about other things, ok.

I would like to go to one once if there were one nearby.

I don't know about the missal, but I'm sure someone does.

I would not call myself a "trad" but I enjoy the Traditional Mass.

We used to go to a very untraditional Catholic Church that was close to home. We did not go to church every week and we had no problem with watching shows with some inappropriate contentography. We had friends that believed that there is 'good' magic and that there is 'bad' magic. We believed we were the regular type of Catholic that did not murder rape and pilage and so we figured we were all set for heaven.

We had a church environment that had no kneeling or pews. Confession was only on Saturdays for maybe an hour if a priest showed up. But I do not think even 2% of the church did confession. The Priest practiced "general absolution" for some time until he received a notice from the Bishop advising that he was not following the precepts of "general absolution" and so he must stop immediately. We even had that posted in our weekly newsletter. When Christmas came the DRE (director of education) thought it would be cute to have a baby girl doll for Jesus in the crib for the night the three wise men came. In our conversation at one of the recitals she told me that the Catholic Church needed to change it's doctrine on priests regarding women not being eligble. That we have a lady at the church who is being called to be a priest and the church will not allow it and that the Catholic Church needs to follow suite with the Episcopal church.

I guess many Catholics today are of this same "modern" thinking?

The thing is my wife and I were blessed with the Holy Spirit becoming very active in us both and giving gifts like knowledge. In the last few years we have learned that the Catholic Church has held true to all the teachings of the Apostles in both written and oral form. We learned that magic is always evil in nature. We learned that women priests have always been something against Jesus teachings and that Pope John Paul II had given an apostolic letter advising the same. We learned that "general absolution" should only be given when a normal confession is not possible and that even if "general absolution" is given that the recipient need go to confession as soon as possible. We learned of many sinful things that we thought were not. We learned our so called "modern" church was actually teaching sinful things as being good. We discovered that the only solution for us to go to another church that did not teach such things as the previously mentioned. That this so called "modern" or "liberal" Catholic Church stuff was really the works of the devil in disguise, because they do not conform to the teachings of the Catholic Church and only succeed in allowing sin.

So, we went to many churches in our area until we found one that is "traditional". All I can say is "What a Blessed Relief". Today my wife and I are very active with our children's education and insuring they are taught correctly from the Catechism. I have started steps of my own for the permanent Deaconate since I see a need for our Church to have more people that have the Church's well being at heart and not their own selfish desires.

Am I a "Trad" I do not know. That sounds too "liberal" or "modern" for me. But I am a Tradional Catholic I hope and I am proud to be one.

Shalom

Buy the one from Baronius Press. It is a far superior version, if a bit more expensive. I've had mine for a year or two and love it.

Looks like they're coming out with a Moto Proprio edition.

Why is it called the Marian Missal?

The Mass ain't so much about Mary as to give her naming rights...

 

[Caedmon]

I think they got fed up with their own isolation and self-alienation and exploded like a balloon full of shaving cream. They'll be back.

I have one from that publisher as well and it's excellent.

How constructive of you, Joe...

 

[Maynard Keenan]

I love traditional churches with ornate sculptures and stained glass and the Eucharist behind the alter in the focus of the building. Not too interested in Latin masses, though.

I'll third the Baronius Press missal. I would say that, if you intend to actually use it at a mass, I'd get one with the 1962 revisions, as that's what they'll actually use at virtually every authorized TLM.

The one I use is one that my Methodist grandmother rescued from the curb in Corpus Christi while visiting my aunt in 1974 or so. She called it a Catholic Bible and was a bit confused as to how it was used. At the time I was going through RCIA and was confused myself, but she wanted me to have it. Flash forward a few years and I get to use it regularly, though with it being a 50's era Missal, I would like one from 1962. I think I'm going to get a Baronius when I get things more squared away. I thank God for His Providence, though, that he prompted her to not feel right leaving it to be thrown away by a neighbor. 30 years later it has really fed me spiritually.
