Typical novus ordo 'shepherds': Weakland, Cawcutt, Mahony, Hubbard. Give me a break. No wonder nobody cares about God's law anymore with jackasses like these interpreting it for us.

You left a few out! Rochester Bishop Clarke comes to mind.

You're still out of step with The Magisterium. If every catholic decided that the Rite they wanted to be offered up in their local parish was .... take your choice - there are many rites recognized by the Roman Catholic Church, weekend services at the diocesan level would turn into pandemonium. What's to prevent me from asking my bishop for permission to have the Ambrosian Rite celebrated at my parish?

After the Consecration, during the "Unde et memores", the Celebrant opens his arms forming a cross signifying that the Holy Sacrifice has been accomplished by the priest "in persona Christi", while the Choir sings the "Benedictus"

AMBROSIAN RITE

Are you Milanese? Was the Ambrosian rite the rite of the western world? Anyway it's not the "rite" that is the only issue. Lex orandi, lex credendi. You don't understand yet. When you mature in the Faith I think you will.

If you had only two choices for Sunday Mass, an SSPX Mass or a Mass at the TajMahony complete with dancing girls, hand holding and bongo drums, which would you attend?

Is it really proper to be discussing the state of a certain individuals soul or whether or not their schismatic?
