Most attending the SSPX don’t explicitly seem to desire separation from the Pope, but they usually do seem to desire separation from Novus Ordo attending Catholics.
I ask you again, where is your evidence to make these assertions against a very large number of people?
Good grief. You won’t even answer the questions, and you whine about proof? Answer them. Your answers will be evidence enough and you know it.
How many SSPX chapels have you been to?
Far too many, though I do not have a count for you.
How many traditional Catholics have you queried on this topic?
I have known hundreds of traditional Catholics well, not mentioning those I have known in passing. Nearly every one of them prefers to avoid Novus Ordo Catholics. It is amazing. Old friends, thinking you are still SSPX, greet you with great joy. Then they learn you are attending an indult, or shudder, a Novus Ordo, and the cold shoulders come out nearly instantly. Not everyone is like this, but too many are.
Until you demonstrate some basis for your broad-brush assertions, please refrain from these types of judgements. I suspect you would not want others to make similar assertions towards the faithful who attend Novus Ordo Masses.
You mean like Maxmillian’s comment the other day that 99% of "Novus Ordo" Catholics are in a state of mortal sin? Somehow I doubt you objected to that.

You know full well that many Society adherents prefer to keep some degree of separation between themselves and those of us who attend the Novus Ordo. To deny this is to deny the Society itself exists, as it is the whole basis for the organization.

What questions are you referring to? I believe you have confused me with another poster.

I disagree with Maximillian's statement. I think he's a little high. Most of the old ladies that go to the Novus Ordo are probably not in a state of mortal sin. My guess is that they account for more than 1% of those who attend the Novus Ordo. It seems that the correct number should be about 90%.
