Question
my fiancee and i would like to get married. I am a tradionalist catholic without a church or priest. Do i need a priest as a witness or if we say the correct vows can anyone be a witness?? Would a novus ordo priest marry us without the new mass??? If a priest ordained in the new order says a latin mass is that valid, or would that be like me trying to do it??
All the questions will be answered when you find a traditional Catholic site. There is a complete list in the Official Traditional Catholic Directory, available at www.traditio.com/nat.htm. You not want to get a Novus Ordo presbyter involved in any of this because such a person is not ordained as a traditional Catholic priest, but installed to preside over the New Order assembly.
