@DyingGaul, you have the highest thanked:post ratio on the forum.  Well done.

What if telling him that discourages him from posting more? 

Don't think about your ratio DG.  Just write more posts.

Don't think about your ratio DG.  Just write more posts.

It's a mathematical certainty that the ratio will drop 50% the next time he posts.

I wasn't trying to discourage, just having fun with ratios.

Welcome. My advice to all converts (from X to NO to trad. Catholicism) is to forget everything RCIA taught you. Get basic traditional catechism books such as Penny or Baltimore and memorize them. Make notes on what you don't understand so you can ask your trad priest.

I have a copy of the Catechism of St. Pius X and was planning on getting the Baltimore Catechism next.

Good. Is that catechism making complete sense to you?

If attending Mass, the ordinary form as celebrated everyday around the world be sinful, then the Church no longer exists. Period.
Rather, if the NOM were the lex credendi of the Church, then the Church would no longer exist. However, the true mass and the true sacraments still exist and will hold the candle of faith until Our Lord steps in to restore His Bride to her glory.
We could compare ourselves to the Catholics in England at the time of the Reformation. Was it sinful for them to attend Cranmer's service?
We have to remind ourselves that all the machinery of the "Church" continued in place. They had priests, bishops, churches, cathedrals. But all of them were using the new "Book of Common Prayer" instead of the Catholic Mass. Ordinary lay people could see with their own eyes an enormous entity that called itself the "Church," but did the true Church still exist in that situation? Meanwhile, in small hiding places in certain homes were a handful of true priests offering the true Mass at the risk of imprisonment, torture and death.
