Indult and Moto Propio Masses
Should Traditional
Catholics Attend the "Indult" Mass?
The Society of Saint Pius X could never profit by Rome's Indult, first
because of the conditions attached to it, and, in particular, that of
acknowledging the "doctrinal and juridical" value of the Novus Ordo Missae
which is impossible and second, but more fundamentally, because such
acceptance of the Indult would amount to saying that the Church had
lawfully suppressed the traditional Latin Mass, which is certainly not
the case. But other priests have profited by it, some jumping at the
chance to say the traditional Latin Mass, others only because requested
by their Bishop, and the odd one or two who would always say the
traditional Latin Mass anyway but have accepted to do so under the
auspices of the Indult for "pastoral reasons".
Can We attend Their
Masses?
If we have to agree to
the doctrinal and juridical value of the Novus Ordo, then NO, for we
cannot do evil that good may ensue. This condition may not be presented
explicitly, but by implication, such as:
by a priest who
celebrates the Novus
Ordo on other days of the week or at other times;
using Hosts consecrated at a Novus
Ordo Missae;
taking communion in the hand;
new lectionaries, Mass facing the people, etc;
by a priest who was ordained in the New Rite;
by sermons that are modernist in inspiration (much to be feared if the
celebrant habitually says the Novus
Ordo Missae);
by offering only the revised forms of the other sacraments, eg. penance.
This brings up the whole context of the Indult Mass, it is:
a ploy to keep people away from the Society of Saint Pius X (for many
Bishops allow only where there is a Society of Saint Pius X Mass Centre);
intended only for those who feel attached to the traditional Latin Mass
but nevertheless accept the doctrinal rectitude and juridical right of
the Novus Ordo Missae, Vatican II, and all official orientations
corresponding to these.
Therefore, attending [the indult Mass] because of the Priest's words or
fellow Mass-goers' pressure or because of the need to pander to the local
Bishop just to have it inevitably pushes one to keep quiet on
"diverse issues" and, distance oneself from those who do not
keep quiet, ie. it pushes one to join the ranks of those who are
destroying the Church. This one cannot do. The Indult Mass is therefore
not for traditional Catholics.
NB: The above also
applies to Moto Proprio Masses.
