your comments on church v chapel make sense.

In Europe, many rich people had private chapels where mass was said for them and those who worked for them. Some lay catholics have "adoration chapels" outside of churches to pray now that crime has forced churches to lock their doors.

Last year, one FR article mentioned the name of the priest who said mass for Gibson in california. He was not SSPX, but an independent priest, so that would be irregular.

However, mass was said daily on the set of "the passion" in Italy, by a regular priest.

Having lived in a PC diocese in minnesota, I can see how Gibson would hate the PC atrocities of the modern mass as portrayed by liberal bishops.

The answer is NOT the Latin mass per se but saying the mass with reverence and with the aim to worship God rather than the pep rally "look how wonderful we are God" type masses that the PC have foisted on too many diocese.

Can those of us still in Minnesota ask which? Or would you prefer to keep that confidential?

Incidentally I have yet to find a parish in Minnesota I feel comfortable entrusting with the religious education of my children. I can cite example after example of heterodoxy and heresy taught, and orthodoxy attacked. And I'm talking about children's religious instruction. To me, that finding is scandalous. But apparently it doesn't even register as a problem for those making religious ed. decisions here.
