I Was visiting in Atlanta 10 years ago and took my daughter to church Sunday morning. The building was impressively domed and white and very large. I noticed that the glass was all plain but passed it off. On entering the first thing I noticed was the noise. People were hi-hoing to each other across the sanctuary. I started to get uncomfortable. Then Mass commenced. The Priest didn't stand up. A woman came to the lectern and began the Mass-:"In the name of the Creator, the Redeemer, and the Sanctifier." Things went downhill from there. The sermon was delivered by another woman and consisted of a political diatribe against rednecks and men. The Priest got his ̉60 seconds when it came time to bless the Host. The priest sat back down and did not rise again. "Communion" was distributed by women who were not nuns. We did not leave in the middle of the show but as we did leave I told my daughter we needed to get back down to the coast while there was still time to get to Mass in the evening. I probably should have gone to Confession because I stayed for the whole show. I had just wanted to see how bad they could make it. At least there were no tambourines or dancing girls.

It's blasphemy, pure and simple.
I HOPE that the local bishops get wind of it and SHUT it down. Sounds like a dog and pony show.

If that was a Catholic parish I hope it got reported to the Bishop.

Sounds more Episcopal to me.

I am really surprised it happened in a Catholic Church in the south. That is not even a Catholic mass at all, period.
