"But we live in the present -- not the past!"

You sure? Look:

"There's a whole generation of young Catholics who came across the Tridentine Mass and feel as if their birthright was taken away from them," says Mary Kraychy, executive director of Ecclesei Dei, a national clearinghouse based in Illinois that distributes information about the Latin Mass. "They're taking it back."

I'd say we're living the present as well as the future.

We've got kids, and we're not afraid how to catechize them.

This is my former parish, and it is far more alive than any other parish I have been to. The past? The church is timeless, and from what I have seen, too many of the typical suburban parishes are simpily placesd where people go to mass and go home, without getting fed on a spirtual level. One will certainly not find that at St. Stephens.
