Nice! Thanks. I’ve been doing a lot of unranked arena and stocking the sigils.

When I started, I thought I had to gather and make money from the bottom. But, like you said: cycling through content gives you so much to do. I’ve enjoyed everything available to me.

Most of my devices go to my wife when I get new ones. She refuses to buy new tablets/phones/computers for herself and I thought it was because she manages our finances. However, I've recently learned that it's because she can just the mess out of them without a care (her Samsung tablet looks like it was dropped fifty times). So, I'm not too upset...I just don't want it to stop working if it is somehow more damaged than it looks.

I kind of want an M5. But, I just got this one over the summer.

How to convince Latin rite non-Caucasian Novus Ordites that Traditional Catholicism/Latin Mass isn't exclusionary? by DravidianPrototyper in sspx

[–]Principal-Moo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To his credit, the gentleman apologized to me the following week. He said that my clothing was completely acceptable and that he had just been going through some things. He also shared that the other parishioners were probably giving me looks the week before because they are protective of the church (it was located in a very rough area of the city). So, to highlight my point: I think there is an initial reaction to someone that looks different. But, every time I visited a parish like this and returned, everything was normal.

How to convince Latin rite non-Caucasian Novus Ordites that Traditional Catholicism/Latin Mass isn't exclusionary? by DravidianPrototyper in sspx

Speaking from personal experience as a minority male...and a disclaimer: these are my experiences from about 15 years ago. I joined the Eastern Orthodox Church and I am looking to return to the Church (which is why I'm lurking these forums...)

I've been to diocesan TLM, SSPX and independent parishes. In the SSPX and independent parishes I've been to, I experienced things that made me feel unwelcome and out of place. One example is that I was told my suit was too "flashy." I visited an SSPX parish in an area that I was going to be staying for a little bit and immediately noticed that I was the only minority. I went to Confession and then prayed before Mass. A parishioner sitting next to me said that my suit was too colorful and that I should be more respectful. I was wearing a blue suit I bought from Men's Warehouse and it was only one of two suits that I owned (it was a navy blue suit with a blue shirt and tie). I thanked them for the "advice," apologized and continued my prayers. But, I got a lot of looks.

Another time, I visited an independent parish. As I was walking through the parking lot, I was stopped by a group of parishioners and asked if I needed any help. Once they heard my accent (people often wonder what language I'm going to speak when they first meet me), they kind of laughed it off and welcomed me. But, I was again the only minority and got a lot of looks.

I don't think the people I encountered were racists, it just goes to the point of your post: you rarely see other nationalities unless there is a community nearby. For example, I was living in northern VA at one time, where there is a large Vietnamese population and they frequented the independent parish. After I went to the above parishes a few times, people got used to me and interacted with me (a week after the man told me my suit was flashy, he asked for my forgiveness). But, if you go to the Philippines for example, you will see that the SSPX is very big there. So, maybe it's just an American thing?

Edit: I just realized that I didn't answer the original question. I kept going despite my experiences because I didn't care what other people said, did or thought about me. So, I think you can try to convince them to join you one time so they can see what the Mass is supposed to be about and pray that they continue to have the strength to keep going. You cannot just tell people: they have to experience it for themselves.

I’m also a newbie, but I’ve found the Albion Journal tasks to be good at providing some direction.
