I have less than charitable comments to say about Keeler, so I will not say them here....

I think the even greater problem with Baltimore is the chancery/priests' council. Most of the notorious liberal pastors sit on that.

Now, I haven't lived in MD that long (5 years), and we plan to move outta here next year anyway, so I could care less about this place. No offense intended to you and any others suffering in this cesspool.

We've skipped around to many parishes. Personally, I have been a Trad since I was 10. My family joined the SSPX but we later grew apart from the Society for reasons beyond the scope of this conversation. By that time I was an adult, and I came to a decision to align myself with the Indult TLM/Conservative Novus Ordo position (if such an alliance exists). Whatever the case, I attend the TLM now at St. Alphonsus downtown (though reluctantly because I am a liturgical perfectionist and that place has a less than par TLM in my opinion). If I am traveling, I usually seek out a conservative NO if an Indult TLM is not available. My present situation was not always the case. My wife and I gave it a try to seek out conservative NO's in Baltimore mostly because traveling for Mass became difficult while she was getting along with her pregnancy. But that effort was futile. It came to head earlier this year when I was physically threatened by a priest I respectfully approached after Mass about his liturgical abuses. We then decided to bide our time at St. Alphonsus until we reach our ideal situation next year in New Jersey at Mater Ecclesiae TLM Diocesan Parish.

The short answer to your question is that we do not belong to any parish in Baltimore. We do not give any money either. Technically, we are already registered at Mater Ecclesiae and our contributions go there and to the FSSP.

Don't forget about Anglican Use. They aren't plentiful, but the one I attended in Houston was a beauty.
