Oh, I'm familiar with St. Francis de Sales, over in Mableton. The parishioners have worked with all their might to transform a little plain vanilla red-brick former Baptist church into a beautiful sanctuary. There is a serious disconnect between the exterior and interior of the church . . . when you open the door it's like you've entered another world.

It's just that I have a former Methodist husband, and we are going to have to break him in easy. (His mother is a Catholic, but he was raised Methodist because his dad's dad was a Methodist minister. I was privileged to know him, and he was honestly a saint.) It took me almost ten years after we were married to get him to join the Episcopal Church . . . so I can be patient!

Patience is always a good thing, and you seem to be on the right track. But if you really want to convert your husband, only sanctifying grace can do it. This is both Catholic and protestant theology. So go to the source where sanctifying grace is actually available, go to the fountain of graces, the traditional Catholic sacraments.

In contrast, there have been several threads recently about how real men head for the exits screaming whenever they are dragged inside a modern "liturgical service."
