People know when they're getting the Real Thing. Our Anglican Use parish packs 'em in at all four Sunday masses; even the weekday low mass and Thursday night Mass for the Church are well-attended. We have no altar girls, extraordinary ministers, hula dancers, puppets, masks, clay pots or banjo pickers. We do have a married priest, but he was married before he was Catholic, so he's 100% in obedience to Rome (and we have a certificate on the wall of the narthex signed by His Holiness John Paul II to prove it!).

In obedience to the Pope and Magisterium, I honor the so-called Novus Ordo as the normative use of the Roman Rite, but I'm also thankful that there are alternatives; it doesnn't have to be a question of either the Tridentine mass or the Novus Ordo! The Anglican Use of the Roman Rite is a mass in the grand Tradition of Christian worship, and my hope is that it will serve as a mustard seed of liturgical orthodoxy.

If you get the chance, please visit an Anglican Use mass in your area. I promise a beautiful, orthodox, dignified, and above all Catholic worship experience.

Yours in Christian Fraternity,

B-chan

Do you have a link to a nationwide list of those Parishes which celebrate it?
