The majority of the parishioners at St. Stephen are middleclass families in their 30s and 40s, dispelling the myth that only the elderly nostalgic for their past would be interested in attending such a Mass. The typical family has five or six children, according to Berg. Most of those kids are home-schooled by their mothers.

Did you catch the picture with the kid "holding back a yawn"? There's always a little shot somewhere.

"Ninety-nine percent of the Catholic people are very happy with the English Mass and do not want to go back," says Reese.

Go 'back'? If you are thirty years old how do you go 'back' to where you have never been? A bit disingenuous.

And how did a Sacramento Bee reporter think to seek out a comment on a small parish in Sacramento from the editor of America?
