Pretty good article. Read the whole thing at the link above. Unfortunately, no pictures from the Dallas Morning News, but I found this picture from a blog posting about it:

I have little to no use for what happened in the church since they left the Latin Mass behind. I go but do not follow the current trends...

I will not touch the Eucharist and the worst thing is shaking hands with strangers who probably don't wash after taking care of their business. I refuse to greet strangers at that time and just sit in a meditative state. It has become a circus.

Last year when I expected to be passing through Dallas, I e-mailed the Mater Dei people for directions to the convent that was hosting their Mass. The response was disconcerting. I was asked more or less to state my reasons for wishing to attend, and even whether I was Catholic. I felt like I was being screened or submitting an application. I hope this wholly offputting and somewhat creepy attitude has been shelved.

What a confusing title. How do you open a sanctuary? Why not open the whole church? I can’t imagine the point in having an open sanctuary in a closed and empty church. Or perhaps the church has been open for a while, and people keep coming into the nave to sit down only to realize that the sanctuary is closed. That would be a strange way to run a church.

Wonderful news!

In celebrating the Tridentine Mass, the priest faces
the altar, not the congregation. Hymns are in Latin.
Parishioners kneel to take Communion....

So envious here....
