Your comments are enlightening, and interesting. I fled my novus ordo parish in Pittsburgh not over the liturgy but over our failure to address a 'situation of sexual abuse' when it was staring us in the face. I went to a TLM indult site there until I retired a couple of years later, and then moved to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and that's when I really got an education! I tried and tried to get a TLM in Puerto Vallarta, circulating petitions in Spanish when I barely spoke any! Eventually I went to the bishop in Tepic there (to plead my case) and was invited to kiss his actual masonic ring! That's when I realized the last thing I wanted to do was expose the TLM to them. And so I went to SSPX in Mexico, and now here, in Chicago, since I've returned to the states. But I had a similar process of waking up in the pro-life movement, as I finally was able to see the effect of V2 on that apostolate (they 'save' babies' bodies, but they absolutely do not touch on the baptism thing!). So now I maintain my blog and go out with Catholic books and home made pro-life brochures that do (humbly, I hope) invite the woman to confession or conversion as well as tell her places to get material help. I have a pretty wicker 'cigarette tray' type carrier that holds a good number of Tan books. They're cheap and traditional. I go to busy places like bus terminals and so forth (JW's are already there usually!). No one has been unkind at all, yet. Spanish people often insist on pressing a donation on me even though I have no Spanish books--because none are available!!!<br /><br />I like your blog. Good luck, keep going!
