The key considerations for where one goes to Mass/Divine liturgy are:
1. Is the priest Catholic? Obviously, Catholics do not pray with public heretics. 2. Is the priest validly ordained? 3. Is the rite intact? Even if a priest still believes the Faith and says the Novus Ordo, the rite itself has been destroyed. It needs to be avoided. 4. Is there a significant risk of scandal, either with the priest, the theological position, or other matters going on at the chapel? This is especially a concern with those who have children or those not well grounded in their Faith.

If so, can these things be avoided by limited contact, i.e. not arriving early but on time or leaving directly after mass, or possibly leaving with the children after as soon as it is lawfully permissible.

I'm probably a minority but I see options getting smaller as the crisis goes on, even with trad ordinations because those situations have a tendency to become unsuitable. I think most people hold the opposite opinion though.

I just moved this, because I think this deserves its own thread.
