If Roger Cardinal Mahony could, he would reinstate this practice!! He needs every dime possible to keep his palatial cathedral up and running.
Thank you, sweetliberty, for the MOST INFORMATIVE insight into the Anglican religion. Have you, personally, ever attended a Anglican Use Catholic service? It would be interesting to hear your perspective on the difference there.
Actually, no, although I have had some discussions with a couple of different priests who departed the Episcopal church to minister at Anglican churches. I am not familiar with the term "Anglican use" although I am somewhat familiar with Anglican, if they're the same. I have actually had some personal issues over some of the more liberal stands in recent years of the Episcopal church and as a result I have had trouble finding a new church home in the area I have lived for going on 2 years now. It was suggested to me that I try a Reformed Episcopal church and there is one very close to me so I may go there this Sunday.
LOL! And it would be filled to the brim with democrats. You think Hillary and Bill were bad renting out the Lincoln bedroom, imagine what they could do with this gem! Talk about influence peddling. Of course, while laughable, it is exactly that kind of abuse that occurred when a corrupt church was in effect married to a corrupt state and the very essence that sparked the protestant Reformation. This was also the basis for the founding fathers adamant opposition to the establishment of a state church.
