Question
I feel the need to convert to and join the Traditional Roman Catholic Church but am unable to locate any in Orange County, CA. Is there a comprehensive listing of parishes that are wholly traditional. Thank you.
You don't want to use "parishes," which are of necessity part of the New Order sect. These use presbyters (clergy installed under the invalid New Order) instead of priests, who are ordained in the traditional Sacrament of Holy Orders. "Parishes" are now part of the New Order sect and often have an invalid "Latin Mass" (an ambiguous term) mixed with New Order elements. What you want to look for is a FULLY Traditional Latin Mass, pre-1962, optimally pre-1950, when many of the New Order "modernizations" came in.
The "Official Traditional Catholic Directory, Listing All Traditional Masses and Traditional Resources for North America" is available on the TRADITIO Traditional Roman Catholic Network at www.traditio.com.
