That's an odd position to take. You would not do so, even if your services were requested by your bishop for some reason?

Granted, the odds of that happening are extremely tiny, but...wouldn't you do it, if your bishop asked you to? I mean, that seems as bad as the SSPXers who consider the Missa Normativa invalid.

If I were asked, as in "given a choice," I would refuse.

If I were commanded, I would do it.

There are two deacons I have in mind right now in our diocese who would jump at the chance.
