[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, where are you? The Washington Archdiocese isn't geographical. Besides, there is no such thing as Opeu Dei church. Are you talking about St. Catherine's?  Many churches have Opis Dei, some more active than others, but the an entire parish isn't Opis Dei. Even St. Catherine's, probably the most well known Opus Dei around has 3500 parishioners- lot, in fact the majority aren't OD. Regardless, just go to the parish you would like to attend and speak to them. [/quote]

[b]Parishes are geographical[/b].  I am the PP, both DH and I grew up RC, and have been there done that ....Parish's are supposed to be community churches.   I tried Mass at St C's.  Was warned about the place by a member of the RC clergy ... and yes I am sorry to not have the traditional RC parish which was part of our culture.  If I was a conservative Jewish family would I go Hasidic?  NO.  [/quote]

Not in the Archdiocese of Washington -- you may attend any church you wish.  One may fit better.  We live on Capitol Hill but prefer the traditional mass of St. Matthews downtown. If St. C's doesn't work for someone they are free to go to another church.  I promise the Swiss Guards won't arrest them.[/quote]

Archdiocese of Arlington has a parish locator  and when you go to parish websites there are boundary statements.  Duh-the Swiss guard isn't going to arrest you but there has been an outflow from certain parish[s].

It's like public schools and out-of-boundary or pupil placement.  Remember the Catholic Church has a parallel school system and knows boundaries.[/quote]
