>>>>Do ALL "traditional Catholics" fulfill their Sunday Obligation, either at a new Mass or old?

So far on this thread he has steadfastly refused to admit whether or not he thinks the Novus Ordo is invalid. You aren't the first to ask, I hope you have better luck, but I suspect by now he is afraid to answer that. Perhaps repeating the question will help.

Dear patent,

Yes, I see what you're saying. It hadn't occured to me that perhaps I wasn't getting an answer to my question because he would prefer not to admit that assisting at a Mass of Pope Paul VI would fulfill one's Sunday Obligation.

So, I'll ask it this way, "Do all 'traditional Catholics' at least attempt to fulfill their Sunday Obligation either by attending a traditional Mass or a Mass of Pope Paul VI?"

Are you referring to me? Yes, I think the Novus Ordo is valid--though with some priests I've had my doubts. It is subject to so much subjective caprice regarding matter and form from parish to parish. Be that as it may--so what if it is valid? That's not the question to be asking. A 1980 Ford might still take you to the corner grocery, but I wouldn't take it to California. Cardinal Ratzinger himself ascribed the woes of the Conciliar Church to the new Mass. No matter how you slice it, there has been no springtime as a result of its institution as was expected. What followed was one disaster after another.
