If there’s a Mass next door, but there’s a 50% chance the attendees will be arrested and spend 10 years in jail, you take your chances and trust God.
All it takes is fellow Catholic letting me know when/where Mass is and I have an obligation to risk my freedom and life.
Kind of cowardly of me to say, “hey the locals can risk their butts to praise God, I’ll just sit it out.”
