So we can be raise our children with the riches of the TLM at Mater Ecclesiae in Berlin (Camden Diocese). No minimalist, Low Mass mentality parish will suffice.They celebrate the traditional liturgy in its fullest splendor possible and the people sing and respond at all Masses in Latin just as many popes and even V2 called for.

We live in MD right now...a total cesspool of corruption. At least NJ still has a rich, ethnic Italian & Catholic flavor in some parts.

I'll work on giving you 3 and perhaps more votes toward that 500,000.

his Excellency Bishop Nicholas A. DiMarzio, Bishop of Camden, established Mater Ecclesiæ Roman Catholic Church as a Church within the Camden Diocese serving Catholics who feel an attachment to the Traditional Latin Mass which is sometimes referred to as "The Old Mass", "The Ancient Roman Liturgy" or "The Tridentine Mass".

kudos to the bishop.

Newark Archbishop Myers just did the same thing with the St. Anthony of Padua Chapel in West Orange.

Some of the old parishioners (SSPX, about half so I've been told) have left the church and are praying in a rented VFW Post in Fairfield, NJ. They don't seem to like being affiliated with the diocese. I know that after being independent for so many years it's hard to go back to the authority of the local ordinary. From what I understand, they can still act independently of the diocese with their board still in control the property and are exempt from diocesan assessments.
