"progressive church?" hm.. interesting.

What a goofy church. You walk in and over the choir there's a painting of some African woman holding a baby. Would be nice to have a Madonna, but no. Then they had this Haitian "pere" talk about his SJW project in Haiti. A project that has its own helipad, natch. What, flatscreens and PlayStations aren't good enough anymore? Now you gotta have a helipad? Bling bling.

You sit there and hear about stone soup and a thrift store and a credit union as the "gospel choir" blasts away. It's Community Organizer Obama's dream church, that is if he could be bothered to drag himself away from the golf courses of Hawaii or Kenya or Iran.

No darkness until the Celebrant enters. No incense. No organ. No Gregorian chant. Not one mention of the unborn.

I don't know what that was I attended Sunday, but it certainly wasn't much of a Mass. They're all proud of the families who left the rafters of the Cathedral to start this "parish". Maybe they need to head back up there and cleanse their souls.

Are you the same poster that spoke of "dirt and mud" needing to be cleaned from St Charles?

I honestly feel sorry for you and your heart of darkness.

I assume that the poster asking for darkness is a time traveler from the middle ages that has somehow figured out how to use a computer, but still finds modern Catholicism very confusing. Perhaps he/she burns witches in their spare time.

to your question: "Best Catholic church in Arlington for a young, single person?"

I think something is wrong with the way you phrased it because technically
there should be the same amount of Jesus and God per church? Or is it like everything
else in DC.. location... location.. location..

Not at all.....I'd like to actually get involved, attend bible study, volunteer, etc. (that could be going to the church a few times a week) and it's just not feasible to do that if the church is an hour away.

OP here again: I attended OLQOP when I first moved to the area, several times. I didn't feel like it was a welcoming environment AT ALL and yes, it was pretty out there even for a A liberal/moderate person. Not for me but I'm sure it's a great fit for others.

I assume it is some kind of troll. Or maybe a real estate developer eyeing the property under st Charles for development.
