Well, I have found our very orthodox and traditional Catholic parish to be a welcome relief from ECUSA's outward signs without any inward grace!

Certainly there is plenty to do in our parish (although offerings are appreciated)!

Youve no idea how rare that is for the RCC in my area. Even my parents have taken to using the "updated" forms of worship and going along with the modernization of the church. Was at a wedding this past weekend, and during the mass, the priest had everyone raise their hand and perform a general blessing on the couple. It did not sit well with me, because it went against my beliefs that the congregation is not a democracy. Maybe I took this little ceremony the wrong way, but it certainly didnt feel right to me to be doing the priest's job for him.

oh well...
