Title: Doctor K on Mass obligation

Since the question occasionally arises here of our obligation (or not) of attending irreverent Masses, I posted the link for an article by Fr. David Nix on the subject.  He uses Dr. Kwasnieski as his authority, and for a refreshing change, quotes pre-Counciliar moral theologians who discuss any and all valid reasons the obligation would cease to bind.

The Jone citation is great.

Another authority is Prummer:

QuoteAny cause which is moderately grave excuses from the precept- namely, any reason which involves some notable inconvenience or harm to mind or body either of oneself or of another
