Well, it's true. In fact, it happened at the exact time I ripped my family out of the New Order and plunked them down into the traditional Mass and they've enjoyed every ounce of it ever since. One of the best moves I've ever made.
For the most part it was my last NO experience with only a few exceptions. In fact, we had been looking to go to a traditional Mass that Sunday, but it didn't pan out. How I found the name of the parish was by googling pictures of parishes because I remember that ugly tweaked cross on the building.
About all I really remember was this theatre-sloped, half circle shaped interior and a bunch of overly friendly, spirit-filled people with NeoCatholic hair. A really weak sermon, bad music, that orans posture stuff. There was this outer vestibule thing with coffee and donuts everywhere. I recognized those things, so I hung out in the vestibule.
Send the shoes; I'll wear them.

Lest I be misunderstood or misrepresented, I wish to make the following quite clear:
I am NOT accusing ANY of the traditionalists on this forum (or elsewhere) of ANY form of dishonesty in their representations of their personal experiences with ecclesiastical misbehaviour. God forbid that I should do such a thing.
I am somewhat astounded by their ability to find the bad stuff wherever they go, particularly in light of my own experiences.
