Also self-explanatory.  I chose "fits your adherence", since some folks may align more with the SSPX, but don't have them in their area or something.  If I'm missing anything, lemme know. 

Thanks!  As usual, only you know how you voted.

Contentment is knowing that you're right. Happiness is knowing that someone else is wrong.

Can I change my vote from SSPX to Kung Fu ?

(although technically I am SSSPX.  I mainly attend the SSSP and Mrs Clau Clau attends SSPX.  It's complicated.)

The option to change one's vote has now been enabled.

How about Sedeplenist Kung Fu? ;)

In truth, my beliefs are closes to the SSPX way of thinking.  If all the options were the same distance away from where we live, we would probably choose SSPX.

I'm somewhat of a cross between sspx and fssp.  I attended an sspx chapel for 20 years and have been attending fssp for about 8 years.  I still will attend Mass at both. (when traveling and when time factors into it)  I've been at both long enough to see their finer points, but I am also well aware of their weaknesses.  I'm just very grateful that I can attend the Tridentine Mass and have many options.

Kung Fu at this point.  We are trying to join the Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter, but also love the TLM, Byzantine, etc.  Our preference however would be to worship as we have been these past few years.

SSPX and Ordinariate are too far for me. So it's FSSP and Byzantine for me. Mostly Byzantine these days. The odd NO thrown in during the week because I hate myself apparently.

Ecclesia Dei Communities (FSSP, ICKSP, etc).  We support financially but don't have any near us so we go to the Diocesan.  Though I also lean toward SSPX as well (and am leaning further of late).

I'm a sed-v, but I assist at the SSPX; I would assist at any Mass said by a validly ordained Catholic priest.
"The World Must Conform to Our Lord and not He to it." Rev. Dennis Fahey CSSP

"My brothers, all of you, if you are condemned to see the triumph of evil, never applaud it. Never say to evil: you are good; to decadence: you are progess; to death: you are life. Sanctify yourselves in the times wherein God has placed you; bewail the evils and the disorders which God tolerates; oppose them with the energy of your works and your efforts, your life uncontaminated by error, free from being led astray, in such a way that having lived here below, united with the Spirit of the Lord, you will be admitted to be made but one with Him forever and ever: But he who is joined to the Lord is one in spirit." Cardinal Pie of Potiers

This comes remarkably close to describing my position.  I alternate between SSPX and Diocesan, but if it were close enough I would attend ED.  There is an FSSP about 2 hours away where we had our son confirmed, but that is too far to attend regularly.

I'm SSPX but now am jealous of the Kung Fu.  What side of Altar Girls do they come down on?  CIH?   :skeptical:   8)

Is this a poll about where you attend mass, or where you WOULD attend mass, given the option, or about which group your opinion on the crisis is best exemplified by?

I attend a lay-owned chapel serviced by a sedevacantist priest.  I "suppose" that's my preference given the options, but I would be happy with a good SSPX priest or other, and I don't feel like defining good except to say that it means he's valid and not a kook and is theologically sound.  I don't want my children hearing about their "moral duty" to oppose the pope or about how Fr. Feeney tried to save the world and Pius XII didn't let him. 

But if we're leveling all of the options, shouldn't all of our preferences be to attend the Latin Mass of a real and approved priest within the approved and lawful structure of the Catholic Church?  I would hope so!

If the question is simply "which group's approach to the crisis do you agree with the most?" then the results are a bit disturbing, and Kung-Fu doesn't really belong.

Prayerful

Probably first and third. The diocesan church (20 minutes by pushbike/motorbike) has a magnificent reredo with high altar (all perfectly restored from some moderate V2 wrecking) and fine side altars. One thing about the morning Low Masses (8 o' clock) is how nearly all women there, mostly young/working age, manage to cover their hair per St Paul and Pope St Linus. One of the priests preaches on the latest Pope Francis enormity (or omission like ignoring those dubia) with a tone of irritation and some controlled distaste. That being said Pope Francis did award a medal to one of the parishioners (given by the Papal Nuncio) for his work with the Irish TLM community (and perhaps drawing people away from the SSPX), so no hard feelings. :lol: The priest who usually hears confessions is a bit of a man of mystery, not listed on the parish website, but assists at the Mass from about the offertory, and does a fine careful confession, with the absolution said in fine if rapidly said Latin.

On the occasion when I hear weekday Low Mass at the SSPX chapel (half an hour driving), attendance is low, but it is at an awkward time, ie 11 o' clock. One of the SSPX priests makes a point of calling the Mass of Ages, the True Mass, which it is, but that is a slightly advanced position, and the NOM doesn't always lead to heresy (or unbelief, which more often it does). Fine and thorough confessors. Sunday attendance is strong. The chapel benches are in an Anglican style (for that it was until the early 80s) where one could have placed a book of psalms and/or Book of Common Prayer, and now missal, resting neatly on the back of the bench in front. More of a community than the diocesan church. Also a nice stock of second hand and new books and magazines in the parish hall.
