I belong to a traditional Catholic Church that has grown considerably in recent years.

When I attended the inaugural meeting of a volunteer group in the church, the pastor asked the member to introduce ourselves and explain how we found our way to this particular church. Two-thirds of the men in the group gave variations of this answer: ”I started coming here because it was the only Catholic church that was open during COVID.”

I consider myself a traditonal Catholic but I don’t attend Mass so I am bad....honestly, I need and old fashioned Catholc church and there isn’t one around here IMO....considered looking into the orthodox church.

That's why we attend our little traditional Catholic Church on most weekends. Our local NO parish shut down for several weeks, and let the crazies run wild for a while. The traditional parish didn't. The good news is that our local parish got off the crazy train pretty early, so now we're sort of bi-ritual.

But yeah. The answer for Catholics is Traditional Catholicism. Go to any FSSP parish and you're going to see tons of young families with many small children, and an abundance of teens and young adults as well. It's sad that our elderly bishops hate us so much.
