Have you considered celebrating the Mass in an
Anglican Use parish? You'd find much to like in
our parish: pews and kneelers, a real crucifix, the tabernacle in its proper place, and no Eucharistic ministers, altar girls, or drive-thru service -- we receive Holy Communion on the tongue while kneeling at an altar rail. Add to that our traditional liturgy (a real
Kyrie and frequent use of Latin), vestments, liturgical colors, and our utter lack of banjos, electric guitars, and liturgical dance, and you get a satisfying and orthodox Catholic worship service.
If there's an Anglican Use Catholic parish in your area, please pay them a visit. I'm sure you'll like what you see.
Yours in Christian Fraternity,
B-chan

------------------ I N • H O C • S I G N O • V I N C E S ------------------Is an "Anglican Use" parish fully Roman Catholic and one with the Pope? Just curious, I really don't know. There is one in Boston, St. Andrew's I believe, but I have not attended.
