Question: Catholics who are in places where they have no access to the Latin Mass and all of their priests are basically modernists who support various heresies, what should they do?
Answer: I think that these families should cultivate their Catholic faith within the family, reading the good old catechisms and the beautiful, traditional explanations about the meaning of the Holy Mass. I would even say they should not participate in those Masses where there are liturgical abuses, or where the Mass is celebrated in a Protestant-style manner. In such cases, only the name “Catholic” remains, but the substance has been lost.
I would not participate in such Holy Masses or liturgies where abuses occur or where there is an evident Protestant style of celebration, or even too much of a charismatic, Pentecostal approach to the liturgy. This is not worship that is truly worthy of God.
My own decision, and what I would advise, is to travel long distances, if necessary, to attend a Holy Mass that is celebrated worthily. Even if one cannot attend every Sunday, it is better to make that effort than to participate in something that violates your conscience. We cannot be forced to attend a Mass that resembles more of a Pentecostal service than a Catholic one.
I believe that on a Sunday when there is no other option, one can still honor God within the family. Then, on the next possible occasion, attend a proper Holy Mass even if it requires traveling far. What matters is that we worship God as He wills, in a reverent and worthy manner.
This was my own experience during the persecution under the Soviet Union. In the underground Church, we often had no priests and no access to Mass. Yet we kept the faith very strongly. In the absence of priests, we would read the texts of the Holy Mass, we would make spiritual communions, and we would receive many graces through this.
Perhaps in situations such as you described, where so-called Catholic Masses are celebrated in a more Protestant style, we are approaching a kind of persecution again. Catholic families may be deprived of true Catholic liturgy for a time. In such circumstances, they must preserve the faith in the domestic church, the family.
Dominus vobiscum. Et cum spiritu tuo.
Benedictio Dei omnipotentis, Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti, descendat super vos et maneat semper. Amen.
