I was at the 11:00 Latin mass at Farm Street Church (Jesuit) in Mayfair, London. I saw the 9:30 Mass let out - since my daughter and I arrived early. I was impressed with how full the church was for both masses.

On the other hand, I have noticed a decline in Mass attendance at home in the last few years.

In my neck of the woods they are filling up with muslims. And I'm pretty far from civilization as I knew it.

Not true. I lived in Brighton and London for years and can tell you for a fact that Catholic Churchs there were filled -- to the point that you didn't get seats during mass.

This was also true of Churches around Edinburgh and Bath and Cambridge
