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?

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

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.

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

Wow! That is not offensive at all. Not at all.

Ad hominem. Look it up. Oops, you're not required to take logic or philosophy or Latin in diaconate training, are you?

Certainly silly. The church paper's add said that the "latin indult mass was being offered by special permission of the Bishop" - so I went. So why did the Bishop need to give his permission for the NO Mass in latin if it wasn't required?

You liked that hey? LOL - sorry......seriously though, we have labels for a reason. You or I had nothing to do with the fabrication of said labels - heck, I never knew what a "Traditionalist" was till the revolution, then I found out I was one of them. Same as you probably never heard of being a "novus ordo" until you found out there were suddenly these group of folks who are called "Traditionalists". By default, you are one or the other and you aren't a trad. We might both be Catholic, but ya cannot deny that there are essential differences in our "lex orandi" which plainly differentiate our different "lex credendi's."
