I went to the TLM because I felt a curiosity in my heart and a strange pull towards it. I did not know ANYTHING about it other than a few things. After years of ignoring my heart...I finally went after my priest told me during Covid that he would Not place the Eucharist on my tongue and told me open your hands as I knelt in fromt of him.. I felt so sorry towards my Jesus, I don't even know why because I was obedient to my priest. But I felt almost lightheaded and and terribly confussed, sad, and sorry when I sat down. I prayed and My heart instantly said Traditional Holy Mass...and I went on a Friday to a low Mass and had NO Idea what was going on!..I had heard it was a beautiful Mass but I didn't even hear anything. I went home confussed, but I knew we was where we needed to be. I did tutorials approximately 8-10 of them and O My..what beauty no doubt! I loved The NO mass..I never wanted to leave it, I could not imagine anything was so different from the NO mass and be more perfect or beautiful. I left because I truly believe Jesus, Himself Lead me and my family, I Was a Coward when I Neglected the pull in my heart from Jesus towards the TLM and ignored HIM for years because I DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE THE NO MASS. Finally I trusted Jesus, and He brought me home to the TLM. My family and I love it. It was a journey a difficult one because we stayed at our NO Church for other things. My priest asked me one day why we were no longer attending Mass I told him, "This is an act of pride on your part." I told him Father it hurts me to hear that, because pride is a terrible thing! So, if you really believe that about me I'm asking you to please keep me and my family in prayers!" . He did not lovingly ask us to come back, and that he would allow us to receive on the tongue if we got at the end of the line. In other words he did not try to lovingly try to accommodate us in receiving The Eucharist on the tongue. He then handed me a medal of St. Dominic. I wanted to hug him but he did not do hugs because he feared covid. O my Jesus, thank you for leading me and my family. A Coward I can say I truly was a coward to your request, I neglected your call in fear of leaving a place I loved. Today I say thank you Jesus! And I pray for all priest and Bishops to be BRAVE and be true shepards of Jesus and His Church and may they NOT FEAR St. Paul's teachings to Cling to Traditions they have been taught. Amen. Holy Family, Ora Pro Nobis. Amen.
@@classicalliberalarts He does show up in the Roman Martyrology: At Marseille in Provence in France, Saint Jean Cassien, priest, who founded two monasteries, one for men and the other for women, and, in his long experience of monastic life, wrote the “Cenobitic Institutions” and the “Conferences of the Fathers” for the edification of the monks. The translation is a little off because it's not official, but I also checked the Spanish and the Latin one.
That is your personal opinion that it is weakness to chose to go to a parish other than the one that is geographically closest. However, Canon Law 518 states, "As a general rule a parish is to be territorial, that is, one which includes all the Christian faithful of a certain territory. When it is expedient, however, personal parishes are to be established determined by reason of the rite, language, or nationality of the Christian faithful of some territory, or even for some other reason."
This Canon Law does not pertain to people looking for a parish to attend “personally”. It’s specifically for establishing personal parishes of which only a bishop has the power to do so. Take the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter for example, of which I am a formal member. So “personal” is being used in that sense not in the sense you’re thinking of.

Just a note, I believe John Cassian is indeed also a saint in the Catholic Church; then again, I just read it from Wikipedia.
No, I don't think he has been canonized. He was one of the most influential writers in my conversion.

Yes, I understand the reasoning. As I said, I think it's weak, and it's never advised.
