That was one of the reasons. But you said a bishop's permission was needed to celebrate the Novus Ordo in Latin, and that is false.

Well, I went to an indult mass that needed the Bishop's approval - but all it was, was the novus ordo in latin. Why did they need the Bishop's permission if it was not required?

Certainly not. I prefer "Catholic." Do you prefer "Catholic", or do you insist on separating yourself from Catholics who attend the Novus Ordo?

I prefer Catholic, but with today's confusion, "Traditionalist" serves a purpose, same as novus ordo does, no?

I mean its obvious anyway, for instance, if I were to say, "Benediction was just awsome tonight", or were you to say, "my hand is killing me because someone squeezed it too tight at mass today" - one should know of what Catholic persuasion we are, but could be confused.

If it was Novus Ordo, it wasn't indult. Do YOU know the difference between the two?

You're going to fit right in with the other weirdos in the trad community around here.
