Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM Dear Mike: Well, "fr moderator" is wrong, as usual. Battlefield Masses are said all the time and have been throughout history. It is permitted. The traditio website is not recommended to anyone who is a loyal and obedient Catholic. I might add that our community, the "Order of the Legion of St. Michael", and its associated organizations such as the "Fraternity of the Chaplet of St. Michael" and the "St. Michael Guild" are NOT IN ANY WAY affiliated with the traditio's Confraternity of St. Michael.
