I choose to attend Mass at an SSPX chapel, that's all--and this is permitted

Keep trying to convince yourself, UR.

Reread Msgr. Perle's last letter. Even you may learn something. Catholics are permitted to attend SSPX Masses--and why on earth not? They are valid, they do not undermine the Catholic faith in the way Novus Ordo Masses do, and the priests who celebrate preach the Gospels, not New Age theology or Dr. Laura's pop psychology.

By the way, the Society has been blessed. It has had a surprising increase in vocations lately. You'll be seeing a lot more of the Society in the future as a result, not less. Rather than close-down churches, it is looking to purchase. Shouldn't be difficult to do, given the implosion of the Novus Ordo dioceses and the many churches put up for sale to raise hush money for sex abuse victims.
