Would you rather...?

[LausTibiChriste]

Had to throw in the last option just for fun...

Anyways, I know a couple westerners who are Trad and have moved to Russia because they were fed up with the woke, LGBT nonsense in their home countries (American + European).

I don't blame them at all, in fact I quite admire them as they've both made it work well and are thriving.

However, being here, the sacramental life is far from ideal and it's basically "bare minimum". For me personally, I don't know if I could make the move on that alone. I'd rather live in rural, secular France where SSPX, ICKSP and FSSP parishes are all within a 1 hour drive and offer daily Mass, rather than live in Moscow and have a weekly Mass in a damp basement in the middle of nowhere.

I know everyone is different and every family dynamic is different, so I'm curious as to which option people here would chose given the opportunity.

Moving to Russia, Hungary, or any other supposedly nnnnnnnnnBased country in my opinion would often do more harm than good.

It's going from stage 4 cancer to stage 1 or 2.

Answered "other" since I wouldn't say Russia, Philippines, Nigeria, etc are "non woke." Just less infected.

I voted for the first.

Frodo: 'I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.'

Gandalf: 'So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides that of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring, in which case you were also meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought."

"Grow where you are planted" is my usual take on things.

God placed me in a certain location for a certain reason.  I'm not going to travel the world to find the Goldilocks place for me. 

Also, I agree with @clau clau's post with regards to the LOTR quote.
