“I’m just praying for a local Anglican parish with a dignified reverent liturgy to cross the Tiber. “

I’ve been searching and waiting for the same thing. I recently visited Holy Name Cathedral in Chicago. Now that’s a church! It is gloriously artistic and showcases man’s ability to praise God through architecture. The music was beautiful and they still kneel. I felt wonderful there. One Mass there fed my soul for a month.

Now if only I could find that in my hometown. Our bishop, meanwhile, is talking about buying the Crystal Cathedral!

That's Cardinal George's influence. Before he went there, word is kneeling was not done. I would imagine the music, too. Bernardin was into the banal stuff.
