Like bowing before entering the pews, the hand motion thing,
Well, you could, during one of the less busy week days, go and see the father and ask your questions.
Are Catholic churches usually open during the week?
They hold mass, yes.
For exaple, there's a LAtin Mass church called Mater Dei here in Fort Worth,
their entire schedule goes through the week.
That's interesting
I'll look into trying to speak to someone there
Good.
Last question, do you know the process of conversion to Catholicism?
I know obviously not to partake in the Holy Eucharist yet
But, are there other things I should be aware of as a non-Catholic Christian going to SSPX mass?
Well, obviously be very quiet, and very still. If you intend to take women, they must not speak (at all, like at all literal rule of latin mass) and they must to an extent, be veiled. Not fully, just a gentle cloth covering the top of their heads.
You're (if I'm not mistaken) also expected to learn specific prayers, ideally the Latin ones,
but I think they've shfited that in the last centuries.
ALSO,
this is a personal hypothesis, but, one nonetheless grounded in reality.
If you are to get your Benedictine crucifix blessed, then it would be better for you to do it from a priest (who is) or a member of the Benedictine order as it was entirely exclusively able to be blessed by members of the Benedictine order up until about the sixties or so.
If you can have that, you'll have the genuine article.
Folks say that the origin of the blessing is no longe rimportant,
@Thomas Thanks a ton, man, that really helps!
I'm glad I can provide any insight with the little scrape of knowledge I've gained looking into the issue.
I'll be sure to follow your instruction, and I'll let you know how it goes
It really is a beautiful and holy order.
I'm curious myself.
I always loved the chants.
When I went, the sining with other-wordly
It was beautiful
The Gregorian Chants, everything being in Latin, the women's sining sounded great too
Ever heard Dies Irae?
I also really liked how the (I think) Friar spoke about that lack of spirituality in the modern world, and the dangers of modernism and liberalism
That is ideally what they speak of now as it is the greatest threat of rite and tradition.
Has been these last seventy or so years.
Definitely
