You would love my Parish then , actually a Newman Center. It has a large number of non-Student members, associate, who are very much to the left, while the students are too the right. Our brave pastor has to try working with both groups. He cannot lose the students because the Center serves them, he cannot lose the associates because they comprise almost all the funding. We have associates, who do Our Mother; we don't kneel at the Consecration (a few of us do), lots of singing and guitar playing (which actually, is tastefully done since we have so many darn talented musicians); gender neutral langauge, read my post to SD, has my Easter Vigil story. God Bless

That sounds similar to the situation at the Catholic student center at the school I went to, which I just graduated from in January. Many of the students were pretty traditional/conservative, and the liturgical situation is similar too.
