Latin Masses on route MA to FL - Roland - 11-11-2021

Hello,
I will be driving from MA to FL soon. Can anyone provide me with Traditional Latin Mass churches along the route in these areas (flexible). Daily Masses as well if possible. Also good B&B's or hotels:

Woodbridge, VA
Port Royal, SC
St. Petersburg, FL

Thank you very much,
God Bless You,

Roland

Roland, 

I personally don't know of any uncompromised Latin Masses being offered in those locations. 

There may well be indult, SSPX, FSSP, etc. Latin Masses available but as Archbishop Lefebvre pointed out, groups that have compromised on the Faith by accepting the errors of Vatican II as all those groups do in varying degrees, are in a state of 'contradiction' and should be avoided. 


Here are few of his words on the subject: 


Quote:" ...the religious authorities would only grant this freedom [of the Indult] on condition that the traditional Mass not be celebrated out of contempt for the New Rite. They would require priests to say the New Mass at least once in a while. It is difficult not to descry in the arrangement of the conditions a maneuver destined to put pressure on traditional priests to convince them to celebrate the New Mass.” sspx.org/en/archbishop-lefebvre-indult-mass

Availing ourselves of the Indult is tantamount to putting ourselves into a state of contradiction because at the same time that Rome gives the Fraternity of St. Peter, for example, or Le Barroux Abbey and other groups authorization to say the Mass of All Time, they also require young priests to sign a profession of faith in which the spirit of the Council must be accepted. It is a contradiction: the spirit of the Council is embodied in the New Mass. How is it possible to desire to preserve the Mass of all time while accepting the spirit that destroys this Mass of All Time? It is completely contradictory.” sspx.org/en/archbishop-lefebvre-indult-mass

“One day, very gently, they will oblige those who have been granted the use of the Tridentine Mass, the Mass of All Time, also to accept the New Mass. And they will tell them that it is simply a matter of squaring themselves with what they have signed, since they signed a statement that they accepted the spirit of the Council and its reforms. You cannot put yourself thus into an unbelievable, irrational contradiction. It is a very uncomfortable situation. This is what has created the difficulty for these groups that have signed it and that currently find themselves in a kind of impasse." (Homily, Friedrichshafen, April 29, 1990) sspx.org/en/archbishop-lefebvre-indult-mass

“Instead of looking to their friends, to the Church's defenders, to those fighting on the battlefield, they look to our enemies on the other side. After all, we must be charitable, we must be kind, we must not be divisive, after all, they are celebrating the Tridentine Mass, they are not as bad as everyone says"—but they are betraying us—betraying us! They are shaking hands with the Church's destroyers. They are shaking hands with people holding modernist and liberal ideas condemned by the Church. So they are doing the devil's work.” (Two Years After the Consecration, September 6, 1990)


I wish I could be of more help. The Masses of uncompromised priests are few and far between...
