I don’t care if Mass is in the basement and celebrated in Ibo, as long as I can go. My parish used to hold overflow Christmas Eve and Easter Masses in the hall, and that’s what I would attend: like being in the stable with the rest of the outcasts.
We have so many people now that they rent a large high school auditorium for the overflow. I haven’t been to one: since we have a band, we always have a place to sit in the multi-purpose parochial facility, as long as we’re willing to play.
" . . . forever and ever, Amen. Hit the dirt."
But we all ought to do the best we can.
God deserves our best art, our best architecture, our best music. Ad majorem Dei gloriam.
You ever notice that Christmas and Easter is overflowing? Why is it not that way 363 days of the year? (daily mass included) Why do some Catholics only show up for Mass at those two times? (CEO Catholics, Christmas and Easter Only)
Really that is a shame. The church should be that full year round.
