I know the Philadelphia area as well.

Do you really?

St. Clement's Anglican as blasphemous as it is, is probably closer to Catholic than anything else in Philadelphia or the surrounding area.

How can something that is not Catholic and does not understand what the Church is, St. Clements Episcopal Church (not Anglican), be closer to Catholic than the Catholic Church?

If I dreess up and play Priest can I be more Catholic than the Pope too?

Our own Cardinal Archbishop recently buried my cousin, a very nice man who was a priest but rather swaddled in the goofiness of today's modernist mileu, and nobody could tell during the "mass" at the basilica whether the consecration had actually been done or not due to the hootenany of the ridiculous ceremony.

And we are to trust you on this because of what veracity you have demonstrated here?

And what exactly is your definition of a hootenany?

And if it was really a "mass" in quotes as you express it to express doubt, then why would you even attend? Don't you know the Canons forbid attending doubtful Sacramental ceremonies?

Can you give the date of this ceremony?

Yes. Do you really?

Can you be Catholic and believe and act like a Protestant? Go visit the Mass at Immaculate Conception in Germantown. Go listen to the sermons at the Chapel of Villanova University and watch the liturical dancing. Visit a few Churches on Christmas Eve and find out how many times Santa Claus has delivered the sermon. Oh and don't forget that annual tradition of the "Mummer's Mass" Nothing like a string band to play at the foot of the Cross on Calvary. Right? Maybe stop by my local parish where the pastor says not to bother with confessing sins in number and kind.

I doubt you'll admit to trusting anything I write. Your calumny and distortions concerning Coloumbe don't engender me towards believing you are an honest person.

And what exactly is your definition of a hootenany?

Comparison to a proper traditional Latin Requiem Mass. Multiple priests "concelebrating" waving their arms around. The tabernacle moved off to the side. No one paying any attention to the Real Presence. Multiple Eulogies of varying goofiness and the usual "instant canonization" so prevalent today.

And if it was really a "mass" in quotes as you express it to express doubt, then why would you even attend? Don't you know the Canons forbid attending doubtful Sacramental ceremonies?

I didn't and wouldn't attend. My parents did and reported back to me in horror about what they saw. They refused to go to communion at the "service" because they feared a doubtful confection of the sacrament.

Can you give the date of this ceremony?

Yes I can. It was in Dec. of 2004 the 27th. Are you gathering information to stalk me or something? What's next? What is your home parish? Your last name? You and your spouse and children? Schools they attend? Is the key under the doormat?
