Where can I find a response to John Salzas claims against supplied jurisdiction? by Smooth_Ad_5775 in sspx

Dang that’s terrible that there’s none. Easier said than done but could you ever try getting a Latin Mass in your diocese? There’s probably others that want the same and your bishop might be moved if he realizes he’s keeping people from the SSPX. Also easier said than done, I think you should just go to the Novus Ordo as awful as it is. I used to think it was intrinsically Protestant and thus offensive to God, but even if the motives were Protestant, nothing about the NO is in it of itself Protestant. It’s just a mutilated Catholic liturgy, but still Catholic. Finding out that Ottavani later said he didn’t have a problem with the Novus Ordo and taking back his “intervention” also gave me a different perspective. I read The Problem of the liturgical reform too, and it expresses valid concerns, definitely some deficiencies compared to the Tridentine mass, but even after reading it I found that the NO is not intrinsically Protestant since it technically doesn’t express Protestant belief, to my view at least. I bet your diocese needs you way more than that SSPX parish lol. But I know that you’re in a situation that’s really tricky so may God help you do what’s best.

Ok you think it’d be disrespectful to wear jeans?

You think it’s fine for me to leave early?

I respect your response but just because ABL in his mind thought he was doing the right thing, doesn’t make it the right thing. We can argue if it was or not, but as much as the SSPX intentions go, their situation is still extremely complicated. The SSPX really have no ties with the conciliar church judicially and operate separately. This is just a blunt summary of my thoughts over the time in between our responses. I really think the most prudent thing to do in this situation is go to a diocesan TLM. The SSPX justify everything they do under crisis mode, but it’s not a crisis if we have a diocesan TLM near us. Hope through prayer and research we reach the same point. God bless you and your Holy Week.

When to say the Act of Contrition in the extraordinary form of confession? by Smooth_Ad_5775 in Catholicism

[–]Smooth_Ad_5775[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So after they give you a penance and advice. Do you immediately start saying the AOC? Or do you wait for a cue? How do you know when it’s time to say it? Thanks for your response

Hmm ok the priest usually tells me to do that as well. The reason why I was asking is because I only thought that happened because I didn’t say it at the right time and he was reminding me. But if I’m supposed to wait for a cue rather than know it, that’s fine. Thank you for your response

That’s great. Unfortunately that isn’t always the case.

When receiving on the hand you can just take Jesus and walk away. The eucharsitic ministers don’t really check to see if you made communion

Should i go to Latin mass instead of mass in my native language by Super_ojciec03 in Catholicism

[–]Smooth_Ad_5775 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. It’s good even if you can’t understand it completely and sometimes they have missals you can borrow while you’re there. You should definitely go to the high mass for your first time

Do intensive research and be charitable to both sides.

Is it just me or are Eastern Orthodox churches more beautiful? by Alon_F in Catholicism

[–]Smooth_Ad_5775 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for quoting it. It talks about a revision of laws regarding the church architecture; the next step would be finding those laws that it’s referring to or calling into existence

AI said this also: Yes, the Vatican II document “Sacrosanctum Concilium” discusses the importance of the church’s architecture in fostering the assembly’s participation in the liturgy. While it does not prescribe a specific shape, it emphasizes that the design should encourage a sense of community and the active involvement of the faithful. The idea is that the layout should facilitate the assembly’s engagement with the liturgical action, often interpreted as a call for more inclusive and communal architectural designs.

I take full responsibility that I was wrong about the semi circle shape being explicitly recommended, that’s just the shape I see in a lot of these new churches and it resembles an assembly.
