It seems that a number of my readers are fans of the Tridentine mass. Some are rad-trads; others aren't. I'm curious just how many of my readers attend indult masses. If you do, please leave a comment and/or add a pin to my Frappr map.
Heck, even if you don't, you should still add a pin.

you'll always find me in the back of the local indult at St Bonafice.

So my favorite mass would be grams.

Posted 15 Nov 2005 at 3:36 am ¶Funky wouldn't slug me (the English system unit of acceleration) because the pound is not a unit of mass but of force. An object that weighs one lb. on Earth does not weigh anything in orbit, and it's weight is about 1/6th lb. on the moon, yet it still contains ~454g of mass.
You don't want to get into a pun battle with me. I can pun up through partial differential equations and advanced pysics. At one time, I considered becoming a quantum mechanic.

Anyway, I'll usually be at the 11:00 High Mass on Sundays; either that, or I'll make an occasional jaunt to the Byzantine rite.

Posted 15 Nov 2005 at 10:05 pm ¶i think i've actually seen you and your family (sometimes i only see you and your little boy, though) at High Mass (sometimes i attend Low, sometimes High) before, about two rows in front of me. (i usually sit in the last pew near the center aisle on the Gospel side and wear a bandana and long hippie skirts.) i'll be at Low Mass this Sunday, but i'll say hi after High Mass next Sunday.

Posted 17 Nov 2005 at 8:48 am ¶I am just beyond putting my finger what has been wrong with my religous life the last 20 years. I am in the process of becoming a Rad-Trad. I don't like the changes I've seen in my 42 years of life.
I am now in what I consider a pretty strange and "innovative" dioceses (Rochester, NY) and it has prompted me to begin examining what Vatican II was about, and compare it to what existed before.
Went to my first High Tridente mass at St Stanislav in Rochester (almost two hours away) loved it and I know I liked what was before VII better.

Posted 18 Nov 2005 at 4:25 am ¶Rochester is REALLY out there. If you ever go to Pittsburgh, PA, go to noon mass at the Oratory. For a Novus Ordo liturgy, it's pretty dignified. I sing in the schola, so I'm doing my small part for the reform of the reform.

Posted 18 Nov 2005 at 5:04 am ¶+Bishop Clark is off his rocker. He's one of the four US bishops who distributes the Eucharist to the Rainbow Sash people at Pentecost (the others being Archbishops Mahony and Flynn and Bishop Gumbleton). You're probably not getting a great vision of what the Church is like in the US, seeing as how Rochester is so out there. Then again, that there is such a problem at all is highly disappointing. As an aside, I am friends with the guy who used to play the organ at the Rochester indult Mass, and he has nothing but good to say about the priest and laity at that Mass.

Posted 18 Nov 2005 at 5:40 am ¶Well, I'm new to things here…I came from the Hartford Archdioceses and grew up in the New York Archdioceses. They were alot better than this nut house I have to say I've never seen a place so strange. I guess I've been sheltered.
Far as the idult mass in Rochester. I really have little comparison. I've only been to two other latin masses in my life. One was a NO mass in London and it was pretty good, and the other was one I attended by accident in Virgina at a "old catholic" church because that was the only church the hotel I was staying at as listed for catholic churches. The mass at St Stanislav was still way better than the Oregon Catholic Press touchy feely mass I've had to endure for the last
5 months.
The thing that amazes me is that +Clarke has been here since 1979…why hasn't he been taken down? When is Pope Benedict going to reassign or retire this guy? Judging from the shennanigans out in LA, +Clarke doesn't have much to worry about.

Posted 18 Nov 2005 at 3:38 pm ¶tom: archbishop flynn?? from st paul/minneapolis??? that's highly disappointing. he seemed like a good guy from my slight exposure to him during net. he didn't abuse the liturgy. (although the music choices were less than efficacious, but he didn't choose the music) where did you hear about that?
cpt tom: i think bishops are required to retire at 75 unless the Pope asks them specifically to stay on (the late cardinal o'connor is an example of that). so it depends on his age rather than how long he's been around. i would like to see many bishops reassigned to hole in the wall secretarial positions in Rome where they can be tightly watched…but that would be a "slap in the face" and hence go against collegiality. we wouldn't want that

Posted 18 Nov 2005 at 4:22 pm ¶edey…
+Flynn….isn't St. Joan's in his dioceses?
and as far +Clark: My comments weren't about his age (he was only born in in 1936), I was just surprised that Bishops who don't follow Doctrine are allowed to continue to lead dioceses. So it's the old boy network eh? How sad. I was really hoping that Pope Benedict would do more than "slap" someone's face…though a small little desk in the back of the Vatican archive sounds about right.
Being from the Archdioceses of NY originally, I really miss the late Cardinal O'Connor. He was worlds above +Clark.

looked at the article…I wish I could say I was shocked, but if he doesn't see anything wrong with giving communion to the Rainbow Sash people, then this is a logical extension. This just adds to the gloom

Posted 18 Nov 2005 at 8:39 pm ¶cpt tom:
St joan's? is that some bad parish? i've travelled pretty far and seen some pretty abused liturgy…does this place take the cake or something??
i guess it's tough for the Holy Father to keep tabs on *all* the bishops. he is the supreme ecumenical pontiff after all and has other stuff on his plate. i'm not sure why bad bishops aren't pulled, though. maybe it's all part of God's plan. i have no idea how the Holy Spirit works.

Posted 19 Nov 2005 at 12:18 pm ¶that is highly disappointing about flynn, although not completely surprising given the parish i attended with my parents right before we flew back from net. i usually give the bishops the benefit of the doubt and assume they can't police everywhere in their diocese. oh well.
i never knew, though, that mahoney was even *personally* orthodox. that's at least some good news.
