That first picture looks like what happens every day at St. Mary's Oratory in Rockford, Illinois, in full communion with Bishop Doran and with Pope John Paul II. Our altar is a lot more ornate and we usually have two or more altar boys.

The second picture does not resemble any of the Novus Ordo churches which I also attend.

Assuming that the first is not SSPX, the action depicted in each case is the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass (I am guessing here of necessity) in which Jesus Christ and the Sacrifice of the Cross are made immanent upon each of the altars under the authority of the Pope and the relevant diocesan bishop appointed by the pope.

If the first depicts an SSPX event, it is still the same nature of act but utterly unauthorized by relevant authority and performed by one who has excluded himself from Holy Mother the Church.

As I recall, you have been attending Tridentine Masses for about three years. That makes you a Zviadist-come-lately. You would not know a golden age if it jumped up and bit you. I did not claim that ours is a golden age only that 1958 was no golden age either.

I was born into the traditional Mass. That was taken away from me for quite a while. I returned to the real Mass about three years or so ago.
