St Mary's is a real jewel in Los Angeles. It is a real contrast to the way things are done on my own Roman side in Mahoney-land. On my last trip to L.A.,I went to the early RC Mass at one of the northern L.A. County RC megachurches, where the priest gave a homily focussing on obsessive-compulsive disorder, the Blessed Sacrament was secreted away in a small side room (I do not dignify it with the name "chapel") in a tabernacle that looked like a wardrobe, and everyone (except me and a few others) stood during the consecration. Having dutifully and painfully fulfilled my Sunday obligation as an obedient Catholic, I then went to the High Mass at St Mary's, where all was wonderfully reverent. Fr Wilcox celebrated ad orientem, of course, and preached on sin, confession and St Thomas Aquinas! I had a chance to speak with him afterwards, and can confirm that he is the nicest person, as well.
All I can say is I hope the TAC gets a good deal, like a "uniate church" structure, from Rome and comes on over, so the quality of Roman observance is enhanced, and I can go back to St Mary's in a fully-in-communion sort of way.
