I concede that the SSPX& #39;s stance on never attending the NO is at least plausibly true, and even if it is still theoretically possible to attend a non-harmful NO, on a practical level the vast majority of NO Masses are bad and abusive enough to be avoided at all costs.

However... https://twitter.com/benjamindcrosby/status/1379814631020097551">https://twitter.com/benjamind...

...that& #39;s one heck of a prudential call to have to make as a mere layman, and I don& #39;t want it on my soul if I& #39;ve somehow gotten the theological calculus wrong on that one.

Thus, I simply refuse to live anywhere where the NO is my only option for Sunday Mass. It& #39;s safer that way.
