I would counsel anyone to be patient in these trying times. First and foremost, I would point out that any TLM arrangement in a “mixed” Novus Ordo parish is far from ideal anyway, and it was only a matter of time before these arrangements disappeared anyway.

If possible, you should find yourself a dedicated TLM oratory or “parish” that is organized under the FSSP or ICKSP. Those will be in a better position to endure in the U.S. — especially in places where the church property is owned by an independent group of lay Catholics and not by the diocese.

I respectfully disagree. I feel like the “mixed” arrangement works well at my parish. The TLMers and Novus-ers get along and attend the same parish dinners, anti-abortion marches, etc. Having the TLM integrated into regular parish life has drawn the curious from the Novus Ordo to check it out and also exposed them to TLM people who are “normal,” not the fire-breathing weirdos that Bergoglio and company imagine. I’m not going to name names, but my parish is one that featured in the recent “Mass of the Ages, part 1” documentary film. It’s precisely the success of co-existence that has the Vatican all in a tizzy and working feverishly to crack down on us.
