There is a very strong positive correlation between the – can we just say it now? – CATHOLICISM of a parish and its priest(s) and the form of the Mass that is celebrated.  One of the great regrets of my life is that I entered the Church through the Novus Ordo, not by way of the local Tridentine Rite parish. Not only was the “instruction” desperately lacking, but so were the rites themselves.  Oh, to have been baptized and confirmed in the Old Rite! The prayers are so powerful!

So, here are two links to the two main Tridentine Mass priestly fraternities: The Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter and The Institute of Christ the King.  As I said above, peruse the list, and if there is anything within a 24 hour drive, haul ass over there ASAP and GET. IN. THE. BOAT. We are talking about the eternal fate of your soul, and the souls of your wife and children, whom God has given you charge over as husband and father.

Be assured of my prayers, and probably one or two other people who read this.
