I have family in Maryland. What Rocco did not mention is that this Church, Saint Alphonsus Church, is located not 700 yards from the Basilica. It is modeled on the Cathedral of Koln (where Pope Benedict was Bishop and that was the site of the last World Youth Day) and had St. John Neumann, a Bavarian, as its first Pastor before he became Bishop of Philadelphia. It is the site of the Tridentine Latin Mass I attended when I visited my family and its gorgeous. There might be something to this story.

**The influx has come from all over the map: appearing more like a parish pastor than the Holy See’s third-ranking official, the prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith Cardinal William Levada celebrated a Sunday Mass at the Basilica in late April, **

Probably was Pope Benedict’s private representative.
