teen Mass, complete with a pop-music ensemble....an altar girl marches a crucifix past 1,000 parishioners.

Gee, some folks must be fasting from Free Republic today.

No blast of trumpets, flaming swords or freewheeling condemnation.

"Gee, some folks must be fasting from Free Republic today."


Guess so. Or they didn't read the link. Here's the full quote that you started:

"Instead, the Liuzzos are attending standing-room-only services like St. Mark's teen Mass, complete with a pop-music ensemble that could be mistaken for one of the area's rollicking Christian rock bands. "This I was not prepared for," says Liuzzo, who flashes a smile at a recent service as an altar girl marches a crucifix past 1,000 parishioners."

Teen "Masses", "Christian" rock bands, Communion in the hand, and altar girls - what's the difference between these rockin' "Catholics" and their Bible-belt separated brethren? Is this the so-called "New Springtime", sinkspur?
